## Description

Scan any printed crossword, minis to Sunday grids, and solve in seconds. Finish a puzzle and share a spoiler-free victory card. Your first 3 scans are free.

CrossBird turns any printed crossword into a puzzle you can play on your phone.

Snap a photo of a crossword from your newspaper, magazine, or puzzle book. CrossBird reads the grid and the clues, and seconds later you're solving. Tap a square, type your answers, switch between across and down, and pick up right where you left off. Puzzles started on paper can be finished on the app.

WORKS WITH THE PUZZLES YOU ACTUALLY SOLVE
Minis, standard dailies, and big Sunday grids, straight from newspapers, magazines, and puzzle books. If it's printed, point your camera at it.

FINISH AND SHARE
New in 1.3: a solve timer that starts when you do, a "Solved!" moment when you fill the last square, and a share card made for group chats. The card shows your time and the puzzle's pattern, never the answers, so it's always spoiler-free.

MADE FOR SOLVERS
• A fast, native crossword keyboard with real haptics
• Letters already penciled in are picked up by the scan
• Puzzles are saved on your phone and progress is automatic
• No account, no login, no ads

SIMPLE PRICING
Your first 3 scans are free. Unlimited scanning is $14.99/year (auto-renews) or $34.99 one-time, yours forever.
