About Quick Crossword (Daily Express)

The Daily Express, the British national newspaper, runs its puzzles online at games.express.co.uk, and the Quick Crossword is its staple: a daily grid with short, straight clues rather than cryptic wordplay, the same for every reader that day.

You play in the browser. Pick a clue, type the answer into the grid and use the crossing letters to work through the harder ones. The online player includes instructions and tips, and keeps a high score for a fast, clean solve.

The Express games site also hosts the cryptic Crusader Crossword and an Arrow Word. It is free with ads and needs no download.

It suits solvers who want a classic British quick crossword with their tea.
