Love a crossword but hate waiting for tomorrow's paper? This one is built on the spot, every time. Here's how it plays, in under a minute.
Tap a clue, type your answer and use the clue strip to jump between across and down. Stuck on five letters? The hint bulb reveals one for a few coins.
Every letter you fill in scores points, and your score turns into coins at the end. So yes, being clever literally pays.
