Miniristikko (Suomen Kuvalehti)

About Miniristikko (Suomen Kuvalehti)

Suomen Kuvalehti, one of Finland's long-running news magazines, renewed its online games section in December 2024. It now has eight games: three weekly ones familiar from the print edition (the big crossword, Piilosana and a general-knowledge quiz) and five that change every day, among them Miniristikko, a hard sudoku, the word games Sana!, Sanajahti and Sana kuin sana.

Miniristikko is a small Finnish crossword with a new puzzle every day. The magazine describes it as small but peppery, and its launch article calls the mini crossword and the hard sudoku more demanding versions of familiar puzzle types.

The games are a subscriber benefit: the games page offers the magazine's full content and archive for a monthly fee, and logged-out visitors see an order prompt instead of the game. It suits Finnish speakers who already read Suomen Kuvalehti or want a short, tricky daily crossword in Finnish.
