Idiom Cross - Word Game
About this game
Idiom Cross is a relaxing crossword puzzle where entries share letters. Every level gives you a compact grid of crossing words: in Chinese you fill four character idioms guided by short definitions, and in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese you complete short high frequency words guided by emoji icons. Tap any cell to open a candidate keyboard, follow the clue list and fill every entry to clear the level. Each language ships thirty handcrafted levels that grow from five by five to nine by nine grids, with every crossing verified. A three hundred second clock runs per level, hints trim the word score, and leftover seconds add bonus points to your run total.
How to play
Tap a cell, pick a character from the keyboard and fill every crossing word before the clock runs out.
Tips & Tricks
- Start with the clue you know best — each letter it shares unlocks the crossing words.
- Solved words lock in amber, so scan the list for what is left.
- Save the whole word hint for a late crossing cell, not the first word.
- Clear levels fast — every leftover second adds a point to your score.
Frequently asked questions
How does scoring work in Idiom Cross?
Every word is worth fifty points. A first letter hint reduces that word to forty points and a whole word reveal reduces it to twenty five. Clearing a level adds one point for every second left on the three hundred second clock, and your run score is the sum across all the levels you clear.
Are the puzzles the same in every language?
Each language has its own thirty levels. The Chinese pack fills four character idioms from short definitions while the English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese packs fill short common words from emoji clues. Every crossing is verified, so each board is always solvable.
