About the game
Mini Cross is a pocket crossword: a 5x5 grid, a handful of short words and friendly clues like "Honey maker" or "Book of maps". Tap a square, type the answer, and tap the square again to switch between across and down. A word turns green the moment it is right, so you always know where you stand.
The hint is the twist. It never wastes a letter on a corner: it fills a square where an across word and a down word cross, picks the one that helps the most unfinished words, and lights up both. Solve without hints for three stars. Thirty-six puzzles start with open lattice grids and grow denser, and a daily puzzle keeps your streak going. The words and clues stay in English in every language.
