Word puzzle
English Crossword.
MediumFill the interlocking grid from the clues. Each clue gives you a picture and the English word read aloud — tap a clue, type the answer, and watch the words cross.
Tap a clue, then type its English word into the highlighted squares. To fix a letter, tap that square and type over it (or use Backspace). Words cross and share letters — fill them all to win.

How to play
- Tap a clue (Across or Down) — each one shows a picture (with its meaning in your language, if you chose one) and a 🔊 to hear the English word.
- Type the English answer into the highlighted squares, one letter per square.
- Words cross and share letters, so a letter you fill helps the words it intersects.
- Fill the whole grid correctly to finish the puzzle. Use 'Reveal letter' if you're stuck.
