Everything you need to know about Grid Genius.

Grid Genius uses advanced AI to generate unique crossword puzzles on any topic. The AI creates themed word lists with clues, then our algorithm places them on the grid. Each puzzle is original — you'll never solve the same puzzle twice. Puzzles come in three grid sizes: 7×7 (Easy), 11×11 (Medium), and 15×15 (Hard).
Easy (7×7 grid with straightforward clues), Medium (11×11 grid with more nuanced clues), and Hard (15×15 grid with challenging, cryptic-style clues). The difficulty affects both grid size and clue complexity.
Three hint types: Reveal Letter (shows one letter in the selected cell), Reveal Word (reveals the entire word for the selected clue), and Check Puzzle (highlights any incorrect letters). Free users get 3 hints per day, Plus gets 15, and Pro gets unlimited.
A new daily challenge is published every day at midnight UTC. All players worldwide solve the same puzzle, and results are ranked on a global leaderboard based on completion time and accuracy.
