Greatest Games Midi Crossword

Greatest Games' Midi Crossword is a daily crossword that sits perfectly between a quick mini and a full weekend puzzle, with grids that grow through the week from 7×7 to 9×9.

This is the Mini's bigger sibling. Monday through Thursday you get a 7×7 grid, Friday and Saturday step up to 8×8, and Sunday delivers a full 9×9. Same puzzle for everyone, same weekly rhythm classic crosswords have always followed.

• Tap a square and type your answer. Tap again (or hit space) to switch between Across and Down.
• The active clue shows at the top. Use arrows, the clue lists, or Tab to navigate.
• Your time is your score. The clock stops when the last correct letter lands.
• Pause or switch tabs and the timer waits. Interruptions never cost you.
• Check marks any wrong letters without filling squares. Each use counts as an assist.
• Reveal fills the entire grid and ends the puzzle as revealed, not solved.
• A new puzzle drops every day. No account needed to play, but one unlocks the full archive.

Why we like it:

• ✅Just the right size for a real crossword fix without the full Sunday commitment.
• ✅The weekly progression gives you easy Mondays and earns you tougher weekends.
• ✅Enough crossings that one solid answer cascades into several more.

Hint: Start with the longest entries. A seven or eight letter answer gives you more crossings to work with, and those single confirmed letters open up multiple shorter clues at once.
