CrossMurds

A twist on crosswords that’s faster, funnier, more creative, and doesn’t rely on remembering obscure words nobody uses.An empty grid. Letters are walls. Suspects with clues leading to simple words. Find the suspect in the room with the Victim: the Killer.The new puzzle sensation that combines the beloved crosswords puzzle with a simpler and more creative twist. Puzzles are both smaller and faster, as well as more unique and deeply engaging.Easy To Learn, Hard To Master: Suspects give clues about words. That word can go in any direction, but it must start from them. Once done, the grid should be cut into different zones by the letters ... and only one person---the killer---should be in the same zone as the victim.The rules easily fit on a single page. Puzzles can stay small---most are just a 6x6 grid with 4 suspects---and the words we’re looking for are common. We want you to fill in 'CAT' in the right place, not blindly guess what we could possibly mean with a clue like 'a famous architect'.Despite this simplicity, though, each puzzle takes new insights, clever connections, and step-by-step progress to solve.5 Difficulty Levels: Mastered the current challenge?
