Crosshatch
The word battle
A word game you can finish.
A real word duel, one on one, on a board small enough to fill up, with a hard limit on how long it can last. Eight turns each, and then it ends and somebody has won.

Play a turn while the kettle boils. Your opponent plays theirs whenever they pick up their phone. Nobody has to be there at the same time, and nobody is stuck in a game that never finishes.
How it plays
- Build words across and down, crossing them over each other like a crossword.
- Coloured squares multiply a letter or the whole word, and each one pays only once, to whoever reaches it first.
- Use all six tiles in one turn for a bonus.
- The seal below the board shows what your word is worth before you play it, and tells you plainly why it won't go if it won't.
More than one way to play
- Quick Play. We find you an opponent.
- Invite a friend with a link. They tap it and you are playing. They need no account.
- Practice against four strengths, from Beginner to Expert. Nothing at stake, nobody waiting on you.
- Today's board. One board a day, the same tiles for every player in the world, one attempt, and a table at the end.
Fair by design
- One fixed dictionary, the same for everyone, that never changes mid-game.
- Nothing to buy that affects play. No wagers, no entry fees, no pay-to-win.
- No chat and no free text anywhere.
- Ads stay off the board. Never beside your rack, never between a move and its result, and never after a loss.
