About Puzzle Modes: Quick vs Challenge

Quick Mode offers helpful tools such as Hints and Visual Guides to assist you as you progress through solving the crossword puzzle. Hints give you the option to reveal a correct letter or word for the selected cell or word-space. Visual Guides help by highlighting cells in a green shade to indicate the letters entered into the word-space are correct. Conversely, cells with incorrect letters stand out in a contrasting shade.

Challenge Mode provides a more difficult puzzle-solving experience, as both the Hints and Visual Guide help options are disabled.
