How a Kryzzle clue works

  1. Read

    The clue is printed in cipher. At first it looks like nonsense.

  2. Decode

    Spin the cipher wheel until the letters snap into English.

  3. Fill

    Now it is a normal crossword clue. Solve it and fill the grid.

Try it. Spin the inner ring, the answer has 3 letters.

The decoder

A cipher wheel, reference charts and keyword sliders slide up as a companion sheet while you solve. Use it every time, or wean yourself off and read code straight.

A puzzle a day

One new daily from a 365-puzzle pool. Streaks are kept, and defended.

Every solve pays coins

Start with 400, earn more per puzzle, no cap. Spend them on hints or table styles that repaint the game.

Fully offline

Every puzzle ships in the app. Planes and basements welcome.

Nothing interrupts

No banners, no pop-up ads, no tracking. A short video plays only when you ask for bonus coins.

No account

Nothing to sign up for. Progress backs up quietly to your own iCloud.

Coins, not paywalls.

  • Every puzzle you solve pays. Hints cost coins, and solving is the main way to get them.
  • Spare coins buy table styles that repaint the whole game, decoder wheel included.
  • Coin packs exist if you would rather not wait. No subscription, ever.

The whole campaign is finishable without spending anything. Your streak cannot be bought back, on purpose.
