Go head-to-head against a live opponent on a shared crossword board. Every move matters. Every tile is a decision. One wrong placement and your rival claims the multiplier you needed. This isn't your grandma's crossword — it's a race to outscore your opponent before time runs out.
Land on a 3× Word tile and triple your entire score. Claim a Speed Bonus by placing your word in under 10 seconds. Cut across your opponent's word for an Intercept bonus. With 2× and 3× Letter tiles too, every square on the board is an opportunity — or a trap waiting for your rival.
Every match earns XP. Climb from Wood through Bronze, Silver, and Gold until you reach Diamond — the top 1% worldwide. Play Live Match, Daily Puzzle, Friend Invite via Game Center, or Local Match to find rivals in your city. Weekly leaderboards, daily login streaks, and 50+ achievements await.
Location is used only for matchmaking and is never stored or exposed. Crossrivals uses on-device AI to keep chat clean and competitive. Free to play — Premium unlocks unlimited matches, text chat, voice calls, ranked mode, and 2× XP.
