Create and share thoughtfully.
Read the play, publication and sharing guidelines for Cubic Crosswords, including personal links, public content and friendly challenge results.
Playing and saving
You can play public puzzles and the tutorial without an account. Device saves depend on browser storage. Sign in to sync regular and daily attempts and to save creations online. Export important drafts for a backup; puzzle exports include their solutions.
Publishing a puzzle
Share only content you have permission to share. Public and personal-link puzzles must be family-friendly: remove profanity, slurs, explicit content, links and email addresses from puzzle fields. Content checks can miss inappropriate material or flag legitimate words. Sign in to report a puzzle that needs review.
Choosing visibility
Only me restricts a saved puzzle to its owner. Anyone with the link allows personal links; anyone holding the full link can forward it. Anyone (public) makes an approved puzzle available to visitors and search engines. Revoking a link stops future authorized opens, but cannot erase copies already received. A shared revision stays fixed unless you send a new link.
Friendly challenges
Joining a challenge shares your first completed challenge result with participants under a generic player label. Times and assistance are self-reported. Challenges are intended for friendly comparison, and are not verified competitive scores. Challenge solves do not award daily streak credit.
