Korsord (Dagens Nyheter)

About Korsord (Dagens Nyheter)

Korsord is the digital crossword of Dagens Nyheter, the Stockholm daily. DN has let readers solve its crosswords on screen since 2015, and the games page now offers a new grid every day, with the difficulty changing from day to day across a range DN describes as easy to extra hard. DN's own customer service describes the crosswords as graded on a scale from one to four, and lets you pick both the level and the constructor.

The grids are Swedish crosswords, so the clues and answers are in Swedish. You solve in the browser, typing straight into the grid, without the rubbing out that comes with pen and paper, which is the point of DN's own tagline for the page. Earlier crosswords stay in an archive, so a missed day can be solved later.

You have to log in to DN to solve, and DN treats its crosswords as part of what subscribers get. The same games page links to DN's other dailies: Dagens fyra, a word grouping game, a quiz, quick word and number minigames, sudoku in six levels, and Gissa platsen. It suits Swedish speakers who solve the paper's weekend crosswords and want one every day.

Tips

• Start with the easiest grade if you are new to Swedish crosswords, then move up.
• Solve the short answers first: crossing letters open up the longer ones.
• Use the archive to practise one constructor's style.
