What the tile colours mean

Green, yellow, or grey — every tile tells a story.

A
Right letter, right place — locked in, fills crossings.
B
Right letter, wrong place — try it in a different position.
C
Not in this word — won't appear in this slot.
A
Repeat dot — this letter appears more than once.

One crossword, four English dialects

British, American, Canadian, and Australian English — each with its own daily puzzle.

CrossWurd generates a separate daily crossword for British, American, Canadian, and Australian English. Spelling matters: color is a valid five-letter guess in the American puzzle but not the British one, and each word list carries its own vocabulary. Sign in to choose your dialect — anonymous players get the British edition.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the daily word game.

Is CrossWurd free to play?

Yes — completely free, right in your browser. No download, no app, and no account needed to play today's puzzle.

How often is there a new puzzle?

Every day — one fresh crossword for each of the four English dialects.

How many guesses do I get?

Six per word, ten words per grid. Every letter you confirm in one word automatically fills into the words that cross it.

How is CrossWurd different from other daily word games?

It crosses two ideas: a crossword grid and guess-based colour feedback. There are no clues — you deduce each answer from green, yellow, and grey tiles, and the grid itself becomes your biggest hint as crossings fill in.
