I'd really appreciate any feedback! Thanks
This game is absolutely incredible. In about 10 minutes I've done a bunch of 3x3s and a 4x4 to see how it works with black squares. I'd encourage you to tweet this at the Wordplay / NYTGames accounts and to make lots more of these!
Actually, a little feedback:
- on my iPad the bottom row of a 9x9 gets clipped in a way that makes it very difficult to play https://imgur.com/a/EpSPiz1
- Some clues reference 14-across or 16-down or whatever, but I don't see the numbers in the squares / a full list of clues to compare with.
- I wish tab took me to the next clue and space changed me from across to down.
I’ve just added some new 3x3s and a 9x9, all at the top of their respective sections. Thanks for playing!

(A small number of reposts is fine - I'm just pointing to that one because it looks like there are more instructions there)
Glad that you allow a couple reposts. This is a good example of that policy doing some good! My prior post didn’t get any traction so I’m glad to get some eyes on it this time around.
What you want to do is find what I call a "donor letter".
Say you have:
BOAR UPTO MUTT PSSA
Where you want to swap the last SA to make PSAS.
What you'll want to do here is find a 'donor letter' of either S or A. In this case we have the A of BOAR. You'll put the BOAR's A in the place you want the A in PSAS, in this case the third slot. Then put the S that is now floating down into the last slot of PSAS.
I understand that this is probably a bit headache inducing to read, so I recorded a clip! https://youtube.com/shorts/SqGgcPXevE4
Thank you for playing by the way!
Let me give an example if the last row of a 3x3 is already correct.
MU - UL - MD
Middle Up: you break the correct row temporarily with this.
Up Left: you do something with the other tiles
Middle Down: re-correct last row

Here’s a video of me solving a 5x5. There’s also the question mark button in the top right of the game which has some more info!
