Críptico: juegos de palabras

Cryptic crossword, Sudoku, and word games in Spanish, with new challenges every day. Críptico brings together four daily pastimes to exercise your mind in just a few minutes: a cryptic crossword, a letter hive, a word to guess, and three Sudoku puzzles.

FOUR DAILY PUZZLES

• Cryptic, the one-clue crossword: each clue hides the answer twice; one part defines it, and the other constructs it with a word game (anagrams, hidden words, double-sided words, homophones). You have five attempts and can reveal letters if you get stuck.

• Hive: form words with the seven letters of the honeycomb, always using the central letter. Go from Baby Bee to Queen Bee and find the pangram that uses all the letters.

• Word: guess the five-letter word of the day in six attempts. The squares and the keyboard tell you which letters are in their place, which are in a different place, and which are missing. Includes Ñ.


• Sudoku: Three Sudoku puzzles each day: easy, medium, and hard, with a notes mode to jot down potential solutions.

STREAMS, STATS, AND FRIENDS

Each game has its own streak, saved in the cloud with a free account and synced across your devices. On your profile, you can see your streak, your record, and the challenges you've solved for each game, and on the streak calendar, the days you've played. Add friends and compare your scores on the daily, weekly, monthly, or all-time leaderboards.

DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY USE
