How do I enter a letter?

Tap or click a square to focus it, then type. Use the arrow keys to move between squares; tab cycles between clues; backspace clears a square. On mobile the on-screen keyboard pops up automatically when you tap a cell.

Does every Across word cross a Down word?

Yes · that is the defining rule of a crossword. Every white square is shared between exactly one Across and one Down clue, so solving one entry gives you partial letters in every entry that crosses it. That cross-checking is what makes the puzzle solvable even when individual clues are hard.

What is a cryptic clue?

A cryptic clue gives the answer twice · once via a definition and once via wordplay (anagrams, hidden words, double meanings, sound-alikes). The challenge is spotting which part of the clue is the definition (always at one end) and which part is the wordplay. Hard mode uses cryptic-style clues throughout · they take getting used to but are addictive once the pattern clicks.

Can I check my answers?

Yes. Hit Check to highlight any wrong squares without revealing the correct letter, or Reveal to fill in a single square or the whole grid. Both can be left off for a clean, no-help solve · which is how most cryptic-puzzle solvers prefer to play.

Does it work offline?

Yes. PlayMemorize is a Progressive Web App.
