What is Daily Fill-Ins?
Daily Fill-Ins is a clue-less crossword puzzle that gives you a list of words to place into a blank grid. Each day offers a new puzzle, challenging you to fit every word correctly based on length and intersecting letters. It's a straightforward but engaging twist on classic crossword solving.
How to play Daily Fill-Ins
You are presented with a grid and a list of words, but no clues. Your goal is to drag or type each word into the grid so that all words interlock correctly, matching the lengths of the empty cells. Use the given word list as your only guide, and fill the entire grid to complete the puzzle.
Tips & strategy
- Start with the longest words—they often have fewer placement options and anchor the grid.
- Look for unique letter combinations or repeated letters to help match words to specific spots.
- Use crossing letters to narrow down where shorter words fit once you've placed a few longer ones.
- Check the word list for words with uncommon letters like Q, Z, or X to identify their likely positions.
- If you get stuck, try placing a word tentatively and see if it creates conflicts with others.
