CROSSWORDS WITH STRANGERS
1-Across: a nicer internet (5 letters)

Solve one crossword a day, with one stranger.

Every evening at 7, you're paired with another human somewhere on earth. Same grid, shared cursor, built-in chat that only opens when you're both stuck. Finish together or not at all.

You get a first name and a solving style (“cautious,” “chaotic,” “fills in vowels and hopes”). That's it. That's plenty.

REMATCH RULE

Finish three puzzles with the same stranger over time and you unlock a standing weekly grid. 61,000 pairs and counting. Four weddings. We keep receipts.

HUMAN-MADE GRIDS

Constructed by a rotating crew of 22 setters. Monday gentle, Saturday cruel, Sunday worth the coffee.

“My Tuesday partner is a retired tugboat captain in Rotterdam. We are undefeated.”
