Tell Grid Genius what you're into (Greek mythology, '90s cinema, quantum physics) and play a crossword made just for you. Stuck on a clue? Ask for a reword, not a reveal.
Our AI researches the subject, picks the best entries, and lays out a balanced grid. Three sizes, three difficulty levels, from kindergarten-friendly to cryptic-style.
Tap a cell, type a letter, jump to the next clue. Optimized for mobile keyboards and desktop alike. And yes, it remembers where you were.
A traditional “hint” button just gives the answer away. Grid Genius rewords the clue in a fresh way, so you still get the satisfaction of solving it yourself.
Grid Genius researches your subject, picks the best entries, and lays them out in a clean grid. Three sizes, three difficulty levels, and no two puzzles are ever the same.
A clue is a riddle written from one angle. When you're stuck, our AI rewrites it from a different angle: same answer, fresh perspective. You still get the satisfaction of solving.
Match your morning espresso, your moon-phase mood, or the desk lamp you can't turn off. Sixteen hand-tuned themes (light, dark, warm, cool) switch in a tap.
From science and history to sports and pop culture. Every topic has unique AI-generated puzzles waiting for you.

Grid Genius uses advanced AI to generate unique crossword puzzles on any topic. The AI creates themed word lists with clues, then our algorithm places them on the grid. Each puzzle is original; you'll never solve the same puzzle twice. Choose from three grid sizes (Mini, Standard, Large) and three difficulty levels independently.
Three difficulty levels control clue complexity: Easy (straightforward definitions), Medium (more nuanced clues), and Hard (challenging, cryptic-style clues). Grid size is a separate choice (Mini 7×7, Standard 11×11, or Large 15×15), so you can play a small hard puzzle or a large easy one.
Three hint types: Reveal Letter (shows one letter in the selected cell), Reveal Word (reveals the entire word for the selected clue), and Check Puzzle (highlights any incorrect letters). Free users get 2 hints per day, Plus gets 15, and Pro gets unlimited.
A new daily challenge is published every day at midnight UTC. All players worldwide solve the same puzzle, and results are ranked on a global leaderboard based on completion time and accuracy. Complete daily challenges consecutively to build your streak, with milestone badges at 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days.
