Minute Cryptic – Your New Daily Brain Tease
If you’ve ever stared at a cryptic crossword and thought, “I’d love this… if I had an extra three hours and a dictionary,” then Minute Cryptic is about to be your jam. It takes all that clever, pun-heavy charm from the big crosswords and squeezes it into a quick, one-clue puzzle you can knock out before your coffee gets cold.
How It Works
Controls
Super simple—you get one clue, a blank space, and six shots at glory. Type in your guess, hit submit, and the game gives you instant gossip about your letters:
Green means you nailed the letter and the spot.
Yellow means the letters’s in there somewhere, but not where you put them.
Tips from Someone Who’s Been There
Break the clue into two parts: the straightforward definition (ha!) and the sneaky wordplay.
Expect puns, double meanings, and the kind of trickery that makes you mutter “Oh, come on” when you finally see it.
If you’re stuck, work backwards—guess possible answers, then check if the clue fits.
