Saturday mini

From blank grid to live puzzle
Everything important stays close to the grid.
crosswrd keeps construction, clue writing, sharing, and publishing in one direct flow. No files, no exports, no mystery states.
Sketch the grid
Place blocks with automatic rotational symmetry, tune the size, and move through cells without reaching for the mouse.
Write the clues
Across and down clues stay beside the grid, so the puzzle, clue list, and editing flow remain in one focused workspace.
Publish the link
Share a browser-ready solve page, keep progress saved, and decide whether access is open, private, or domain-limited.
A complete puzzle workflow
Built for creators. Quiet for solvers.
Fast editing
Arrow keys, Tab, Enter, Space, Backspace, and right-click all do the expected thing.
Private workspace
Autosaved puzzles stay private until every answer and clue is ready to publish.
Focused workspace
Build, preview, and publish without leaving the editor.
Flexible access
Publish for anyone, named players, or approved email domains.
Clean solving
Players get a focused grid, clue navigation, saved progress, and no install step.
Live pages
Each puzzle has a stable share URL and a leaderboard-ready solve experience.
Keyboard native
It feels more like typing than configuring.
The editor is tuned for repeat motion: move, type, flip direction, place a block, jump to the next answer. The shortcuts are simple enough to remember and fast enough to disappear.
Make the next puzzle.
Start with an empty grid, keep it private, then publish when it is ready for real solvers.
