For solvers who do their own work.
Every cryptic solver has scrawled letters on the margin of a newspaper. The Anagrind is that — but cleaner, faster, and always in your pocket.
Type your anagram letters and add the enumeration: (4,3) or 6-3 or 3'2 — to see the word structure laid out as answer slots.
Enter the straight part of the clue so you stay anchored to what you're looking for while you work the letters.
Drag a letter into a slot or use 'tap and place' instead. Lock letters in slots you're certain about with a long press. Fade/unfade unplaced letters with a long press.
Tap Rescramble to reposition the remaining letters. Long press Rescramble to return all unlocked letters to the board and start fresh.
The Anagrind doesn't hand you the answer. It gives you a better workspace. The hard work — and the satisfaction — remains entirely yours.
Enter (4,3), 6-3, or 3'2 to display answer slots with word breaks, hyphens and apostrophes exactly as the crossword shows them.
Long press a placed letter to lock it in. Locked letters survive rescrambles — perfect when crossword checking letters confirm a position.
Keep the straight part of the clue visible while you solve. No more glancing back at the crossword to remember what word you're after.
Label each board with the clue reference — 13A, 27D — so you always know which clue you're working on.
Work up to 8 anagram clues simultaneously. Sometimes the letters from one unsolved clue unlock another.
Name and save your crossword session. Pick up Saturday's puzzle on Sunday, exactly where you left off.
No subscription. No tricks. A single one-time purchase that unlocks the full experience — because serious solvers deserve tools that respect them.
