About Cross & Brew
A cozy café word puzzle you'll actually want to come back to. Swipe letters on a wheel to build words that fill a crossword grid. No timers. No pop-ups. No chaos — just you, the puzzle, and the warm hum of a coffee shop in the background. HOW TO PLAY Swipe connected letters on the wheel to spell words that fill a crossword-style grid. Find all the required words to complete the puzzle. Discover bonus words for extra beans — our in-game currency that fits right into the café theme. WHAT MAKES CROSS & BREW DIFFERENT Word puzzle games have gotten cluttered. Event timers, pop-up offers, flashing distractions — the simple joy of finding a word has been buried under noise. Cross & Brew strips all of that away. What you get instead: a warm café atmosphere, beautifully illustrated backgrounds, a bean-based economy that makes sense in context, and puzzles that respect your time. FEATURES - Cozy café-themed experience unlike anything else in the genre - Hundreds of handcrafted crossword-style puzzles - Bean economy — earn beans to unlock hints and power-ups - Beautifully illustrated café backgrounds - No timers, no pressure — play at your own pace - Clean, distraction-free interface - Works offline THE STORY BEHIND THE GAME Cross & Brew was built by one person — Darren, a solo indie developer from Florida. It started on the couch: his wife with a coffee, him with a word game, both half-watching Wheel of Fortune. His wife's love of coffee shops — she genuinely can't pass a good one without stopping in — inspired the whole café world the game lives in. Pull up a chair. The coffee's on. ABOUT DECK 14 STUDIOS Deck 14 Studios is an independent game studio based in Freeport, Florida. Cross & Brew is our first release. More games are coming — each one built with the same care and attention to the player experience. deck14studios.com
