    Language practice that doesn't feel like it

    Solving a crossword in a language you're learning does three things at once: you read the clue, recall the word, and spell it correctly to make it fit. Get it wrong and the crossing letters tell you immediately.

    Kryss is available in 15 languages — and we're always adding more — so you can solve in the one you're learning. Choose easy, medium or hard vocabulary to match your level. Learners use it for vocabulary retention; teachers build puzzles from the exact word list a class is working through.

    How an arrowword works

    Each clue has its own square, with an arrow showing which way the answer runs — no list to hunt through. Answers cross, so every word you solve hands you letters for the next. Picture clues? Just name what you see.

    In a classic crossword the clues are numbered and listed beside the grid. In an arrowword — also called a Scandinavian-style crossword — each clue is written inside a cell of the grid, and an arrow points to where the answer goes. Kryss publishes arrowwords.
