Arrow Words Puzzle

Arrow words is the crossword where the clues live inside the grid. No separate list of numbered questions to scroll through — each clue sits in its own square, and a small arrow points to where the answer begins and which way it runs. Everything you need is on screen at once, which makes it the most comfortable crossword you can do on a phone.

If you know this format as a Scandinavian crossword, a skeleton crossword, or a skanword, you are in the right place.

A PUZZLE EVERY DAY A fresh grid appears each morning. Solve it and your streak grows — the dots on the home screen show your last seven days. One quiet evening reminder is available if you want it, and it only appears on days you haven't played.

THEMED PACKS Twenty-four hand-checked puzzles across eleven collections: Easy Start, Animal World, Nature, Food & Drink, Home & Everyday, Around the World, Science & Tech, Arts & Music, Sport & Games, Brain Teasers — and Giants, where a single 13×17 grid can keep you busy all evening.

BUILT FOR COMFORT • Tap a clue and the whole answer lights up • A correct word locks in gold, so you always know where you stand • Three free hints per puzzle reveal a single letter when you're stuck • Pinch or zoom out on big grids to see the whole picture, then jump to any corner • Long-press a clue to read it in large type • Light and dark themes, with a switch for sound and vibration

NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR No account, no email, no password. Your progress saves the moment you type a letter and follows you to your other devices through your own iCloud. Every puzzle works offline — on a plane, on the tube, in the middle of nowhere.

FAIR CLUES, EVERYWHERE ENGLISH Answers avoid words that are spelled differently on either side of the Atlantic, so you'll never be asked to guess whether we want COLOUR or COLOR. Clues stay away from region-specific trivia — this is a game for anyone who reads English.
