Arkadium Daily Crossword Live

About Arkadium Daily Crossword Live

Arkadium runs a live stream where hosts solve a crossword, and Daily Crossword Live lets you play that same puzzle yourself. Arkadium describes the grids as fresh and challenging, sometimes with special themes, and it tracks your times.

To keep the playing field level, the usual helpers are switched off: there is no Check, no Reveal and no Print. You select a square, type your answer and fix it yourself if it is wrong, relying on crossings and context like a solver on paper.

It is free in the browser with ads and needs no sign-up. It suits solvers who want to test themselves without the safety net, and who enjoy comparing notes with a live solve.
