Fast Crossword (La Vanguardia)

About Fast Crossword (La Vanguardia)

Fast Crossword is the English sibling of La Vanguardia's Spanish Cruci Veloz. The grid is five squares by five, with a black square or two, and there are five clues in each direction. The clues are the short, punchy kind found in American minis: on 3 October 2026 they included American symbol, Have on as a dress or trousers, and Dublin's land.

The help text explains the goal: fill in the crossword by entering the correct words based on the clues provided, which may be definitions, synonyms, phrases or wordplay. The game runs a timer while you solve. If you choose to reveal the solution, the game warns that it will be marked as incomplete in your stats. Your stats keep streaks, and the game shows the share of all players who solved the day's grid.

The puzzle is part of the Quality Games set on La Vanguardia's games page, so it sits among Spanish and Catalan puzzles: crosswords, word searches, sudoku and quizzes. It is free to play, and a new grid appears each day.
