Crossflip

What Crossflip is

Crossflip fills a grid with two-faced letter tiles, and turning tiles over decides which of two possible words each line spells. One reading in every row and column fits the day's theme; the other is a decoy. You aim to show only theme words while using as few flips as you can. It comes from Puzzmallow, a UK team of two whose site collects its own word, logic and number games.

How a round works

The theme title sits above the board, and a counter beside it tallies your flips next to the par for the day. Tap any tile to turn it and see the letter on its back. Since every tile is shared by one row and one column, a single flip changes two words, so fixing one can spoil the word crossing it and the order of flips matters. Every line can spell exactly two words, one tied to the theme and one unrelated, and the puzzle is done when all of them show the themed choice. Finishing at or under par is the target. A timer stays hidden unless you switch it on with Show Timer.

Good if you like…

• Quickflip: Quickflip also turns tiles toward one of two words, but there is a single eight-letter answer, and its only hint points at the wrong word, so you steer away from it.
• Underword: Underword uses two-sided letter coins too, turning them until a line reads as a valid word, but it spends from a pool of 28 flips and has you predict your finished boards.
• Squareword: Squareword also ends with words across and down, but you build its five-by-five square from scratch with guesses that show where letters belong, scored on tries, not flips.
• Blockle: Blockle hides a theme behind its rows as well: six letter pieces fill a square frame until each row spells a word, so placement is the puzzle rather than a tile's face.
• Typeshift: Typeshift moves letters too, sliding whole columns up and down to line up words across a row, and runs on until each letter has been used, with no theme or decoys.
