About The Big Crossword

The ultimate giant crossword puzzles!

Play the world's biggest and best single grid crosswords, with over 1300 clues in a single grid. The grid are both over 100 by 100 cells in size.

Can you complete these epic crosswords?

These themed crosswords are a fabulous brain game if you love solving challenging puzzles.
Choose to solve the crosswords in two modes:
- Quest mode, where each clue has been carefully crafted into a corresponding quest. There are over 80 quests to complete in each puzzle.

The crosswords have been professionally set, and tailored to suit both US and non US markets - with any specific cultural differences noted. We only use the best crossword setters!

They are epic challenges that only the best crossword solvers will be able to complete unaided.
However if you're completely stumped on a clue, the game features several hints:
- Reveal start and end letters
- Lose unused keyboard letters
- Reveal Word

Each puzzle also contains 140 cryptic clues to sharpen your wits, but fear not - our 'Learn Cryptic Crosswords' app teaches you how to solve those. Or just use your Hints!

The helpful 'mini grid' feature shows you where you are in the overall puzzle.

The game features in-app purchases to buy coins for hints, or you can watch reward adverts instead.
Periodically adverts are shown.

Earn extra rewards by playing daily.
