The 6 × 6 adds a row and a column to the classic grid: 36 squares, two, four or six of them black, and 12 answers, six Across and six Down. Answers run four to six letters, and the clues sit at our medium difficulty setting.
Allow about 3–6 minutes. With no three-letter answers to lean on, start with the four-letter slots and any fill-in-the-blank clues, then let the crossing letters carry you into the six-letter entries.
Prefer a quicker solve? The classic 5 × 5 is one step smaller. Looking for more of a challenge? The 7 × 7 goes bigger, and Unlimited lets you play 6 × 6s back to back.
