Riddle Grid

Riddle Grid mixes two kinds of puzzle. On one side is a list of cryptic clues, each with a number showing how many letters are in the answer. On the other is a square grid of letters. The task is to find the answers to the clues hidden in the grid.

You spell a word by dragging through adjacent letters, moving horizontally, vertically or diagonally, much as in Boggle. The answers are not laid out in straight lines. The game's tutorial makes a point of it: words can intertwine, weaving around each other in the same grid without sharing letters. So finding one answer also narrows down where the others can be.

If a clue has you stuck, Need a Hint? lets you pick a clue and see the first and last letters of its answer. You can use a hint on each remaining clue. The clues are drawn from cryptics.georgeho.org, an open dataset of cryptic crossword clues, which the game credits under the ODbL licence.

Each puzzle is numbered and has its own date, and a new grid appears every day; the game follows the UTC date. The first puzzle came out on 7 January 2026. A link under the clues opens yesterday's puzzle, earlier puzzles have their own pages by date, and the game keeps a streak in your browser.

There is no sign-up and no ads: the page is a plain grid and clue list that works the same on a phone, where you drag with a finger, as on a desktop. It suits cryptic crossword solvers who want a shorter daily fix, and word search players who want clues to work from.
