How to Play Crossword
A crossword is a grid of interlocking words: every letter you write into an Across word also belongs to a Down word crossing through it. Read the numbered clue list, work out the answer, and type it into the matching row or column.
Controls
- Click any white square to select it, then type a letter — the cursor moves forward automatically.
- Click a clue in the Across or Down list to jump straight to the first cell of that word.
- Click an already-selected cell again to flip between Across and Down when a cell belongs to both.
- Use the arrow keys to move around the grid, and Backspace to clear a letter and step back.
Difficulty and language
Easy puzzles use short, everyday words and a smaller grid. Medium and Hard bring in longer, less common words and more clues to solve. Switch the Language menu to Português for a Portuguese word bank and clues — perfect for practicing vocabulary in either language.
How do I play the WordHive crossword?
Click any white cell to select it, then type letters using your keyboard. Click a clue in the Across or Down list to jump straight to that word, and click a cell a second time to switch between Across and Down.
Can I change the difficulty or language?
Yes. Use the Difficulty menu for Easy, Medium or Hard, and the Language menu to switch between English and Portuguese word lists. Changing either instantly generates a brand-new puzzle.
Is every crossword grid unique?
Yes. WordHive builds a fresh, randomly interlocking crossword from its word bank every time you click New Puzzle, so no two grids are exactly alike.
What if I get stuck?
Use the Check button to flag any wrong letters without giving away the answer, or use Reveal to fill in the full solution if you want to see it.
Is this crossword game free to play?
Yes, WordHive is completely free, works in your browser, and does not require any download or account sign-up.
