About Crux

Crux is a free daily word puzzle from Mind Loft — a clueless crossword. Eight hidden words (twelve in the Sunday Edition) interlock in a compact grid, and the only hints are four visible categories; working out which words belong to them is the puzzle.

Guess real words to reveal letters: dark tiles lock a letter into its square and every crossing, yellow tiles mean the letter belongs elsewhere in the word. The whole board shares one guess budget, and a single submit files each solved word under its category — a point per solve, a point per correct placement.

A new Crux puzzle arrives every day, with a bigger Sunday Edition each week. No app, no signup — play free in your browser and compare score, guesses, and time on the daily leaderboard. Prefer scrambles? Try Garble, our daily word scramble.
