About Sheffer Crossword

The Sheffer Crossword is a syndicated daily newspaper crossword that Arkadium carries online among its King Features puzzles, next to the Thomas Joseph Crossword. Arkadium describes it as appealing to players of all ages and aptitudes.

The rules are the usual ones: use the clues to think of words and fill them across and down. Arkadium's player puts the grid beside the clue list and offers check and reveal tools when you get stuck.

It is free in the browser with ads. It suits solvers who know it from the newspaper and want to keep up with it online every day.
