ABOUT THE GAME
Woody Cross game overview
A small bank of letters sits beside an incomplete crossword. Swiping through letters in sequence submits a word; a valid answer occupies its matching spaces in the grid. Hidden vocabulary can run beyond the most obvious combinations, rewarding a careful check of alternate paths. More than 6,000 levels provide the long progression, and completing a grid awards bonus rewards. Magnifying-glass hints and firecracker boosters can resolve difficult moments. With no time limit, an unfamiliar letter set can be explored methodically instead of guessed under pressure.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before you start
Each puzzle cycles between studying open word lengths, tracing possible spellings through the letter bank, and checking where accepted answers intersect. A full crossword unlocks the following challenge.
GETTING STARTED
How to play Woody Cross
Read the empty grid first to estimate likely word lengths. Start on one letter and swipe through adjacent choices in the intended order without lifting until the word is complete.
Use confirmed crossing letters to narrow the remaining answers. If the final word stays hidden, apply a hint or booster rather than repeatedly entering the same rejected combinations.
CONTROLS
Controls and device setup
Press on the first letter and swipe continuously across the remaining letters in any direction, then release to submit the word.

Tips for Woody Cross
- Try short common words first because their letters reveal longer crossword intersections.
- Reverse a promising letter path when the forward spelling is not accepted.
- Save hints for grids with few crossings, where deduction supplies the least information.
