A daily cryptic clue you can actually solve. Learn cryptic crosswords one clue at a time - fun, fast, and free. Minute Cryptic began as a social media project with one clue a day and a short video explaining it. When our community asked for a game, we built one.

Now, with the Minute Cryptic app, you get one handcrafted clue each day, drawn from community feedback, playtested with solvers, and paired with a bite-sized video explanation.

You can adjust the difficulty with hints or letter reveals, and track your stats as you build confidence and skill.

Minute Cryptic is designed to make cryptic crosswords more accessible, playful and fun - one clue at a time.

What you get:

- A new cryptic clue every day
- Friendly hint system to guide you through
