- How it works. Everyone gets the same 21 letters each day. Build one connected crossword and see where your score ranks. The rules and scoring are on How to play, and strategy is in Tips.
- New puzzle. A new puzzle starts at midnight in your own time zone.
- A word didn't count. Cruxword's dictionary has about 270,000 English words. If a real word was rejected, or a word you think shouldn't count was accepted, email us the word and the puzzle number.
- Your scores. Your scores are tied to a player id stored in the browser you play in. Clearing site data or switching browsers makes you a new player there; Plus can be restored (below).

Cruxword in ChatGPT
- What it does. The Cruxword app in ChatGPT lets you play the day's puzzle inside a conversation and check whether a word counts. Ask ChatGPT to play Cruxword, or type @Cruxword.
- Leaderboard. Grids played in ChatGPT aren't sent to the cruxword.com leaderboard. To get ranked, play the same puzzle at cruxword.com.
- Removing it. Disconnect Cruxword from the apps or plugins page in your ChatGPT settings.
