Frequently asked questions
How do I enter a crossword pattern?
Type the letters you already know in their positions and a ? (or underscore) for each blank square - for example ?a?e. The solver returns every word of that exact length matching the known letters.
Can it solve cryptic crosswords?
It finds words that fit a length and known letters, which cracks most standard and quick crosswords. Cryptic wordplay clues still need you - but once you have a few crossing letters, the pattern search does the rest.
