Play on romainpastureau.github.ioWhat is Crosslink?
Crosslink is a daily word puzzle that blends crossword-style clues with a hidden connection between two words. Each day presents a pair of crossing words, and your goal is to figure out both based on their clues and the relationship they share.
How to play Crosslink
You are given a crossword-like grid with two words: one running across and one running down. A clue is provided for each word, and the type of relationship between the two words (such as synonyms, antonyms, or homophones) is shown in the corner. The letter at the intersection is always revealed to help you get started.
Tips & strategy
- Start by filling in the intersection letter and then work outward using the clues.
- Pay close attention to the relationship type—it often narrows down the possible word pairs.
- If you're stuck, wait for the hint button to become available and reveal a letter strategically.
- Use the 'Clear' option to remove wrong guesses without losing letters you've revealed via hints.
- Try to solve without hints first to keep your streak and win ratio clean.
