Lexido is a daily word puzzle in which the letters of a crossword are scrambled; you unscramble them to reveal the words, with a new puzzle every day.
About Lexido
Lexido is a daily word puzzle built on a small crossword whose letters have been shuffled. Each day's puzzle is numbered by date (No. 261003 on 3 October 2026) and is the same for everyone.
The board is a 5x5 grid with four black squares, which leaves room for six words: three across and three down, crossing at every other square. All the right letters are already on the board, just in the wrong places. You swap tiles to rebuild the words, and the header counts how many of the six words you have found, how many moves you have made and how long you have taken.
There is no move limit to beat, so the challenge is to finish cleanly: fewer moves and a faster time make a better result. A help page explains the rules, and a free account keeps a profile of your results.
It suits fans of Waffle and other swap-the-letters crosswords who like a quick, low-pressure puzzle with a clear score.
