About Arrow Word (Daily Express)

Arrow words, also called arrowords or Scandinavian crosswords, put the clues inside the grid. Each clue square holds a short definition and an arrow pointing to the direction its answer takes, across or down, so the whole puzzle is one board.

The Daily Express publishes daily arrow-word puzzles on games.express.co.uk, the same for every reader. You type answers into the cells after each clue, and every answer crosses others, so the grid fills quickly once you get going. The player includes instructions, tips and a high score.

The site also hosts the Express Quick Crossword and the cryptic Crusader. It is free with ads and needs no download.
