Double Cross — a daily amusement

1

Two answers, two matching slots.

“Big cat (4)” has two answers: LION and PUMA. They go in the two slots on that clue’s card — but the clue won’t tell you which answer goes where. That’s the puzzle.

2

The crossing letters give it away.

Type your guesses — nothing is checked while you work, so guess freely. Where words cross, their letters must match. Only one arrangement makes every crossing agree.

If the crossing word needs a U in that square, then PUMA goes here — not LION.

Tap ⇄ to switch a pair between its two slots without retyping.

3

Fill every square, then press SEAL.

All correct — you win. Any mistake costs one of your four lamps: correct entries flash green, wrong ones flash red and stay underlined until you fix them. Lose all four lamps and the puzzle is lost.

Stuck? 💡 Chisel: reveals one letter, costs a lamp. 📖 Almanac: fills in one pair of your choice, free — but the day counts as assisted.
