Build your own crossword vocabulary deck

Many solvers keep a notebook of recurring answers, abbreviations and clue tricks. A crossword flash card app turns that notebook into cards you can review in short sessions, so the words you see every week become automatic.

  • Turn word lists and clue notes into flashcards in minutes
  • Review with spaced repetition so repeat answers stick
  • Study in the browser on the Free plan
  • Export to Anki, PDF or CSV on paid plans
Example crossword vocabulary flashcards
Crossword clue: Female sheep (3 letters)EWE. Vowel-heavy short words like this appear often because they fit tight grid corners.
What is a rebus square?A single grid cell that holds more than one letter, used when an answer needs a longer string in one spot.
What does a clue ending in an ellipsis usually signal?An incomplete phrase the answer completes, such as 'Ready, set, ...' for GO.
What is a revealer entry in a themed crossword?The longer answer that explains the theme shared by the other long entries in the grid.
What does a cross-reference clue do?It points to another entry, such as 'See 14-Across', so you must solve that entry first to fill this one.

Works with your own material

Add a PDF of a puzzle book chapter, a DOCX of clue notes, slides, or a photo of a word list and get flashcards built from it.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so common crossword answers like ERA or OREO stick without rereading the same list.

Study in the browser

Review on your phone or laptop between puzzles. The Free plan covers studying in the browser with no exports.

How it works

Upload your notes

Drop in a file or a photo of pages covering clues, abbreviations or themed answers you keep missing.

Review the flashcards

Check the generated cards, edit any you want, and keep the ones that match how clues are worded.

Study on a schedule

Spaced repetition brings each card back at the right time so you retain answers for your next puzzle.

Start with the material you already have: a printed word list, a photo of a clue sheet, or notes from a puzzle club. Keep each card to one clue or term so the answer is quick to check, and add a short note when a clue uses a pun or an abbreviation.
