CodyCross Today's Crossword

CodyCross is a mobile crossword game from Fanatee, a studio founded in Brazil, and has been on the App Store since 2017. Its framing is a friendly alien called Cody who has come to Earth to learn about our world, so each clue is a short piece of trivia and each grid hides a secret word.

The main game is a map of themed worlds with hundreds of puzzles you play at your own pace. The daily part is Today's Crossword: each day there is a Small grid of about ten clues and a Midsize grid of around two dozen, dated and shared by all players, which is why answer sites publish them by date. The app also has Today's Password, a daily word guess, and a Daily Streak.

You fill each answer from its clue using the on-screen keyboard; letters you place also appear in the crossing answers. Paid hints reveal letters if you are stuck.

The app is free with ads, and a subscription removes ads and adds extra puzzles. The app can be played in English and eleven other languages, Swedish being the latest added. It suits trivia fans who like short, clue-driven crosswords on a phone.
