About Emcee

Emcee is a free daily mini crossword from Mind Loft. Say the name fast and you’ll hear the initials — M.C. — because that’s all it is: a proper mini crossword, five squares by five, with numbered Across and Down clues and a timer that only stops when the grid is right.

The words are everyday words and the clues play fair, so most grids fall in a minute or two — the puzzle is speed and cleanliness. The grid checks itself when the last square lands: wrong squares flash red and each failed check counts against you on the leaderboard, where ties break on fewest checks and then fastest time.

A new grid drops every day at midnight Eastern, and Sundays go bigger with a 7×7 pinwheel. No app, no signup — play free in your browser, keep a streak, and race the daily leaderboard. More word puzzles: Crux, our clueless crossword, Links, our word-grouping puzzle, and Garble, our daily unscramble.
