Double Cross
46d agoDouble Cross is a daily web‑based crossword game where each clue has two possible answers that occupy paired slots on the grid. Players type guesses, switch answers between slots, and match crossing letters to find the only arrangement that fits. A “Seal” button submits the puzzle; correct entries flash green, wrong ones flash red and cost one of four lamps. Hints include “Chisel” (reveals a single letter at the cost of a lamp) and “Almanac” (fills a chosen pair for free, marking the day as assisted).

Key Capabilities
01
Dual‑answer clues
