Crosswords 13x13 in mini format

The 13x13 grid is the smallest one on the site, which is exactly why plenty of people reach for it first. There are fewer words and fewer clues, so the path from the first answer to the last letter is short. It works well right after morning coffee, in a gap between meetings or on a train ride, when you only have a handful of minutes. Do not mistake it for a watered-down version though: the crossings and the style of the clues are the same as in the bigger formats. 13x13 crosswords suit newcomers who find large grids intimidating, and experienced solvers who want a quick warm-up. Checking and hints are built in.
