How to play

• Three words read across and three read down, crossing at nine letters.
• The clue for the word you are in is shown under the grid.
• Tap the cell you are already on to switch between across and down.
• Every answer hands three letters to the words crossing it.
• Reveal a letter if you are stuck — it costs thirty seconds.

Tips

• Start with the clue you are sure of: it gives you three letters of every crossing word.
• If a crossing letter contradicts your answer, the answer is wrong — the crossing rarely is.
• Short clues usually mean common words. Do not look for anything clever.
• Fill the letters you trust and read the gaps aloud — the word often appears by itself.
