Word Fill-In (Puzzleship)

About Word Fill-In (Puzzleship)

Every word is used once and nothing is left over. Click a slot, choose a word that matches its length and any crossing letters, and keep going until the grid is full. Puzzle magazines often print it as a fill-in crossword.

Two aids sit behind the gear button: one marks a slot that can no longer be completed by any remaining word, without revealing the answer, and another, on by default, shows clashing letters in red and sinks those words to the bottom of the list. Starting with a length that has only one word gives you crossing letters for free.

Puzzleship publishes six grids of Word Fill-In a day, graded from very easy to ultra hard. Each day's grids are numbered and dated, the same for every player, and appear at midnight in your own time zone; earlier days stay playable in the archive. The site is free with ads, and a premium plan removes them.
