Tap a square and type. The highlighted row or column is the entry you are filling; tap the same square again (or press space) to switch between across and down. Arrow keys move around, backspace clears and steps back. The clue for the current entry sits under the grid, and the full lists are beside it.
Check and reveal
Check marks wrong letters without giving the answer. Reveal square fills in the selected square; on the free site that costs a short video ad, and you can decline.
