DailyPlay Crossword Midi
A 9 by 9 daily crossword with about 20 clues, sized for a lunch break.
Every day: One 9 by 9 crossword with around 20 clues a day, the same for every player, timed, with a calendar of past puzzles. New puzzle: Midnight.

DailyPlay Crossword Midi is a daily 9 by 9 crossword with around 20 clues. It sits between DailyPlay's Mini and Maxi: longer than a five-minute mini, shorter than a full grid. Everyone gets the same puzzle, and a timer runs while you solve.
About DailyPlay Crossword Midi
The Midi is the middle size of DailyPlay's three daily crosswords. Its 9 by 9 grid holds around 20 clues, enough for some wordplay without the commitment of a full puzzle. A timer runs from the first square, and your time goes on the day's share card.
There is one Midi a day and every player gets the same grid. Hints, a calendar of earlier puzzles and a streak are part of the page, so a missed day can be made up later.
DailyPlay is run by Chris Benjaminsen through GreatGamesNetwork ApS, with no ads and optional subscriptions. The Midi suits solvers who finish the Mini too fast and do not always have time for the Maxi.
