A Scrabble-style word game
with the warmth of a well-loved board game
Crosswords-Studio.com brings the classic tile-and-board word game to your browser, tablet, or phone — no install required, though it works like a native app if you want it to.
For serious word-game players — choose the NASPA Official Word List (NWL), the same list used in tournament play. No cartoons, no ads. Just hours of great fun.
Play your way
Solo vs. AI
Practice against a computer opponent tuned to a difficulty you choose, with optional Learning Mode hints to help you improve.
Pass-and-play
Share one device around the table, old-school style.
Online multiplayer
Host a live online game and share the code — up to 3 friends join and play completely free. Spectators can follow along with a watch-only link too.
Chat while you play
A built-in chat panel sits right next to the board, so trash talk and "good luck!" are never more than a message away.
Schedule for later
Plan a game ahead of time and invite friends by email — everyone gets a calendar invite, and the room opens itself when the time comes.
Play several games at once
Track every active game you're in and switch between them with a tap.
Standard, Casual, or Tournament
Pick your rules: relaxed and forgiving for a casual night in, or full tournament rigor with chess clocks and word challenges.
Tournament-grade competition
Chess clocks
For every player, with configurable time controls and overtime penalties — the pressure is part of the game.
Word challenges
Host-configurable rules — void the play, double the penalty, or a flat five-point cost — for when you think your opponent just played something that isn't a word.
Standard & Casual skip the confrontation
Choose exactly how competitive you want the room to be.
Designed to feel good, not just work
Two ways to place tiles
Drag-and-drop for the tactile feel, or tap-to-select for speed and precision.
Watch your score build
A live point bubble tracks your word's value right on the board as you lay down each tile.
A board that zooms with you
The board magnifies automatically while you place a tile — or pinch to zoom in and spread to zoom back out, any time.
Celebrations that actually celebrate
Big plays, bingos, personal bests, and hot streaks all get their own on-screen moment.
Track your progress
Learning Mode
Playing solo against the computer? A hint button shows good available moves before you play, and reveals the single best move you could have made right after.
Earn badges as you play
Milestones for games played, wins, bingos, and high-scoring plays — plus Reach badges for friends you invite who create their own account. Once earned, it's yours for good.
Track your stats
Every finished game is logged to your profile — wins, best single play, highest score, and more, all in one place.
Never miss your turn
Opt in to push notifications and get nudged the moment an opponent plays — even with the app closed.
Make it your own
Five visual palettes
Classic, Midnight, Coastal, Mocha, and Dark Rose — each with its own personality.
Eight text-size levels
From compact to extra-large, comfortable on any screen for any set of eyes.
Sign in with a passkey
Register with just a name, email, and a passkey — Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello. No password, no Google account required.
