The crossword in your paper, on your screen
Point your camera at a crossword in a newspaper or puzzle book and play it on your phone: bigger, clearer, and easy to erase.
Coming to the App Store
Screens from the app. The puzzle is from a 1962 newspaper in the Library of Congress collection.
Made for people who find the paper hard
Pinch to zoom, high contrast, dark mode, large tap targets, and VoiceOver on every square.
Fix a misread in a tap
No scanner reads every square right every time. Crossword Lens shows you where it is unsure, and a tap corrects it.
It doesn't solve it for you
There is no answer lookup. It reproduces the crossword you already have; the solving is yours. Scan the printed answer key too, and checking works from the real answers.
Your puzzles stay on your phone
No account, no ads, and nothing you scan is uploaded.
