About Telegraph Quick Crossword

The Quick Crossword is The Telegraph's daily crossword for everyone: the clues are plain definitions rather than cryptic wordplay, so it suits solvers of every level. A new grid comes out each day, the same one as in the newspaper, and Telegraph Puzzles describes it as the most popular of its daily crosswords.

In the app and on the web you fill the grid with on-screen clues and a keyboard, with options to check and reveal, and an archive holds thousands of earlier puzzles. Telegraph Puzzles keeps streaks for solving every day and achievements for milestones.

The Quick Crossword is part of the Telegraph Puzzles subscription, which new users can try free for 14 days; a free Mini Crossword is offered every day. It suits solvers who want a daily grid for a coffee break, and those working up to the Cryptic.
