About Crucigrama Tarkus (El País)
Crucigrama Tarkus is the daily crossword that the constructor known as Tarkus publishes in the Spanish newspaper El Pais, made playable online. The same grid that runs in the paper each day is put on the El Pais Juegos site, so you can solve it in the browser rather than on paper.
It is a full Spanish language crossword with across and down clues. You click a square to start, type letters, and move between entries as you go, and the site can check your answers. The clues are in Spanish and in the usual Spanish crossword style, so it suits fluent Spanish solvers rather than learners.
There is one Tarkus crossword per date, shared by everyone, and earlier grids are kept in an archive. El Pais runs it on its wider games hub alongside its expert crossword, mini crossword, autodefinido, word searches and other daily puzzles. Opening the page brings up El Pais cookie choices; the site offers free access after accepting cookies as well as paid subscriptions, and some sections or the deeper archive may ask you to register or subscribe.
It suits Spanish speakers who want the familiar daily newspaper crossword from El Pais without the printed page, and crossword fans who like a named constructor and a regular puzzle.
