Partner Mode is now available on all our Weekend and Weekday crosswords you can try it out on today’s puzzle, or find the whole archive in the Puzzles & Games Dept. If any other questions arise, try consulting our F.A.Q.Īt last, the crossword can take its place alongside the Zoom board-game night and the remote Netflix party as a way to get some mental exercise while keeping in touch. If you need to take a break, just keep the puzzle open, or else save the link, which will let you return to the session with your partner. Once your solving partner opens the link on their device, their cursor will appear in green alongside yours, and you can puzzle out answers together, in real time. Have fun playing Croc Word with your family and friends.

In the video above, Anna Shechtman recalls courting a college sweetheart through crosswords Erik Agard is grateful for the sympatico souls he’s met in the puzzle community. But, for others, the joy of puzzling is a social one. Solving a crossword is, for some, a solitary pursuit: a retreat from the messy social world into the inward realm of the mind. Tournaments and Twitter notwithstanding, crossword enthusiasts, like Trappist monks or novelists, don’t exactly have a reputation for extroversion. When the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament-an event that usually draws hundreds of solvers and constructors to a hotel in Stamford, Connecticut-was postponed last month, resourceful participants staged an impromptu “Crossword Tournament From Your Couch,” live-tweeting commentary and results. Many of us, jittery and housebound, are seeking solace in jigsaw puzzles, sales of which have skyrocketed, or in the virtual landscapes of Animal Crossing. The coronavirus-quarantine era has been a heyday for puzzles and games.
