Double Cross

Double Cross is a daily crossword from Everhall, launched in July 2026. Each numbered puzzle is a seven-by-seven grid, and its clues come in pairs: a card such as 1 Across and 14 Across reads like two clues separated by a slash, and both answers have the same length. Sometimes one clue covers both answers at once.

The puzzle is working out which answer goes in which slot. Nothing is checked while you type, so you can guess freely, and where words cross their letters must agree; only one arrangement makes every crossing fit. A swap button moves a pair between its two slots without retyping.

When every square is filled you press Seal. Correct entries flash green; each wrong one costs one of your four strikes (the help calls them lamps), and losing all four loses the puzzle. If you are stuck, Chisel reveals a letter for one strike, and the Almanac fills in one pair for free but marks the day as assisted. Solving on the first seal with no help counts as Flawless, and your streak and statistics are kept on your device; a streak forgives one missed day a week. A shared result carries the puzzle number, so the link replays that day's grid without touching your stats.

It suits crossword solvers who want something short with an extra layer of logic, and players who enjoy the crossing letters doing more work than usual.
