About YourLifeChoices Mini Crossword
YourLifeChoices, an Australian news and lifestyle site for older readers, publishes a small crossword every day. It sits in a frame on the site's games page and also opens on its own page. Each puzzle is dated with the Australian date, such as General - 19/10/2026, and is a 6x6 grid with six across and down answers built around its edges and middle.
The clues are plain definitions rather than cryptic ones. On 19 October 2026 they ran from 'Person who installs and repairs roofs' and 'Sun's morning activity' to 'Completely engrossed or fascinated' and 'Jump or bound forwards'.
Tap a square to see its clue, type the answer with the on-screen keyboard or your own, and a timer runs as you play. A correct answer turns green at once. Reveal Letter and Reveal Word help when you are stuck, and you can pause or surrender. When you finish you see your time and can copy a result to share.
The page says new crosswords are uploaded daily, and the previous six days' puzzles stay available. It suits anyone who wants a short, gentle crossword with a cup of tea rather than a long grid.

Tips

- Watch for green: a word that stays uncoloured once full has a wrong letter somewhere.
- A revealed letter costs less than a revealed word if you only need a start.
- Missed a day? The previous six puzzles are still there.
