Omni Crosswords — A lightweight, free crossword solver for iPhone

Omni Crosswords is an iOS crossword app designed for fast, no-friction solving. It automatically pulls puzzles from well-known publishers (for example: The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and others) so you can jump into fresh puzzles without searching. The app aims to keep the solving experience straightforward and uncluttered.

Highlights and core capabilities

• Quick text entry using a built-in keyboard for efficient answers.
• Automatic delivery of puzzles from major outlets so you always have new grids.
• Upload support for external .puz files to play crosswords from other sources.

Convenience and usability options

• Skip directly to the next clue when you want to move on quickly.
• Automatically jump over squares that are already finished to speed navigation.
• Visual error marking to help you spot mistakes instantly.
• Adjustable settings let you enable or disable these behaviors to match how you like to solve.

Appearance and timing

• A built-in timer helps you record how long each puzzle takes and race friends.
• Dark mode support that can follow your system theme or be set manually for low-light solving.

Progress tracking

Other notes and alternatives
