GNOME Crosswords is a crossword player and editor.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Uses .ipuz files internally and supports a significant chunk of
the open .ipuz spec for crosswords. - Supports cryptic, acrostics, barred, arrowword, filippine, and
rebus-style puzzles. - Loads .ipuz, .puz, .jpz, and .xd files from disk.
- Supports standalone puzzle collections of crosswords with multiple
ways of playing them. - External puzzle set downloaders can be used to download puzzles
- Extensive styling support for crosswords. Square, black and white
crosswords are traditional, but this game can also take advantage
of color and shapes. - Reveal button to find mistakes in the puzzle.
- Hint button to suggest possible answers using Peter Broda’s Wordlist.
- Puzzle checksums for puzzles that don’t include an answer.
- Respects the Desktop-wide dark-mode preference.
