How big is each crossword?

Each mini puzzle is just two intersecting words — small and quick to solve, more like a daily warm-up than a full-size crossword.

Can I check my answers before finishing?

Yes, click "Check" at any time to highlight correct and incorrect letters without ending the puzzle.

Yes, the Across and Down word intersect at exactly one shared cell, that's the crossing point that ties the mini puzzle together.
