About Word Cross
Word Cross blends a crossword grid with a circle of letters. Each level gives you a handful of letters and an empty grid, and you connect them by swiping to spell words. Correct answers drop into place on the board, and filling every slot clears the stage. Fans of Wordscapes-style games will feel at home, with a cozy grass-and-wood theme setting a relaxed mood.
There's no clock and no pressure, so you can sit with a tough set of letters as long as you like. More than 6,000 levels mean you won't run out of puzzles anytime soon, and a built-in dictionary helps you learn the meaning of unfamiliar words you uncover. Stuck? Hints and boosters such as magnifying glasses and firecrackers can help get you moving again. It's a gentle daily workout for anyone who loves words.

Tips and tricks
- Start with short three-letter words; they're quick to find and often reveal letters for longer entries.
- Use letters already filled into the grid as clues for which words still fit.
- Try plurals and simple endings like -ED or -ER when the circle contains an S, D or R.
- Look up new words in the dictionary to build vocabulary that pays off in later levels.
