How to Play - Crazy Crosswords

Game Overview

CrazyCrosswords is a unique word puzzle game where you rearrange letters to form words both horizontally and vertically. Each puzzle presents you with a grid of letters that you need to reorganize to create valid words in both directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a correct word?

A valid word must match the hint shown for that row or column in the puzzle, and it must be a word found in our English dictionary. The game will highlight words in green when they match their corresponding hints, helping you track your progress toward solving the puzzle.

How do I use hints?

Tap the hint buttons on the sides of the grid. Row hints show what word you need to make horizontally, while column hints show vertical target words.

Where can I move letters?

You can swap any letter with any other letter on the board! This gives you complete freedom to arrange letters exactly how you want them.

How do I complete a level?

Form all the correct words shown in the hints for both rows and columns. When all words are correct, you'll automatically advance to the next level.

What happens when I level up?

There are two types of levels in CrazyCrosswords:

Adventure Levels: These are the individual puzzle levels you complete in sequence.
Player Level: As you complete puzzles, you earn XP that increases your overall player level. Each time you level up, you receive coins as a reward.
