FAQ
Free Daily Crossword FAQ
Answers about playing CrosswordPop, mobile access, saved progress, archive dates, lives, and how the daily crossword works.
Can I play CrosswordPop on my phone?
Yes. CrosswordPop is designed for mobile and desktop, with a board-first layout on small screens and quick clue navigation throughout the puzzle.
Does CrosswordPop save my progress?
Yes. CrosswordPop saves progress in your browser for each daily puzzle, including filled letters, score, timer state, lives, and clue progress.
How do lives and misses work?
Each daily puzzle starts with 10 lives. Wrong letters cost one life, and every streak of five correct pops earns one life back. If lives run out, that puzzle resets after one hour.
Can I play older CrosswordPop puzzles?
Yes. CrosswordPop has dated crossword pages so you can reopen recent puzzles from the archive and keep progress for each one separately in your browser.
What makes CrosswordPop different from a standard crossword?
CrosswordPop keeps the classic across-and-down grid, but each clue opens a bubble round where you reveal the answer letters and feed them back into the crossword.
