Riddle Crosswords: Test Your Wits Online

Riddle crosswords mix an ordinary grid with rebus-style clues and questions that come with a twist. A clue can be a description of an object, a play on words or a short riddle, so you are not recalling a word, you are genuinely working it out. Puzzles like this shake up your logic, and your vocabulary grows too, because words appear that you might not meet in normal life for weeks. Solve them with a friend and argue over whose version is right, or take one on alone with a cup of tea. Answers are checked online and hints are nearby, so even the nastiest riddle gives in eventually. New grids are added regularly, so boredom is unlikely, and you can begin at any level.
