HOW TO PLAY. This online daily crossword puzzle is well-designed and easy to use. Type the answers directly into the puzzle.

The clues are listed along the right side, with the Across clues above and the Down clues below. Use the scroll bars to scroll up and down through the lists of clues.

To enter an answer into the crossword grid, click the box where the first letter of the word goes. (To change between horizontal to vertical words, press the Spacebar.) Then simply type in the answer. To remove a letter, click the square to be cleared and press the Backspace key.
