About Crossword Battle

Crossword Battle is an independent game for adults who learn English on their own. It turns vocabulary practice into short crossword races, and it remembers every word you meet so the ones you miss come back until you know them.

Why it exists

Word lists and flashcards work, but they are easy to stop using. A race is something people come back to. Losing a race because you did not know a word, then seeing that word again a few races later and getting it, is a strong way to remember it. Crossword Battle is built around that moment.

What makes it different

  • The learning is in which words you get, not in a separate study mode. Every race is built from your own history.
  • Your level is found by playing, not by a test, and it keeps adjusting.
  • You can add the words you actually meet, from a text or a photo, and practise them the same way.
  • Spelling counts. The game tracks the words you misspell, so you can see the mistakes you repeat.
  • Every clue is written in plain English and checked before it goes into the game, so it can be solved.

Limitations

Crossword Battle teaches English only, for now. Other languages are not supported yet.
