About Cripptic

Cripptic was born out of a simple frustration: cryptic crosswords are wonderful, but the barrier to entry is too high. Traditional newspapers assume you already know the complex "grammar" of cryptics.

We're building the first platform dedicated to teaching cryptics through practice. Instead of 15x15 grids that take hours to solve, we provide bite-sized "clue sets" that you can finish in 5 minutes.

Our mission is to make the joy of the "aha!" moment accessible to everyone. By combining modern UI with educational explanations, we're turning the learning curve into a playground.

The Tech

Cripptic is built with Next.js and high-quality, handcrafted puzzle content. We're currently working on an AI-powered generator to provide unlimited daily practice.

If you're new, begin with the Learn page, then solve a daily puzzle, and finally try an interactive case when you want a longer challenge.
