Puzzle Page numbers each game separately, so the ID on this page belongs to Crossword Diamond alone — a Sudoku published the same day carries a different one.

Every grid on this site is captured from the finished puzzle rather than copied from another answers site.

How do I find a different date?

How is Crossword Diamond different from the normal Crossword?
The grid is diamond-shaped, so row lengths vary and answers are rarely all the same size.

How Puzzle Page Crossword Diamond Works

A crossword laid out as a diamond rather than a square. The rows change length as you move down the grid, so answer lengths vary far more than in a standard crossword.

Tips for Puzzle Page Crossword Diamond

  1. 1

    Start at the widest row in the middle — it holds the longest answers and anchors everything above and below.

  2. 2

    The narrow top and bottom rows take very short answers, often three letters, which are quick wins.

  3. 3

    Because the grid tapers, a wrong letter count is obvious early. Count the squares before committing to a long answer.

  4. 4

    Diagonal neighbours matter more here than in a square grid; a single corner letter can unlock two entries at once.

  5. 5

    Work outward from the widest row. The diamond's centre line is the longest entry on the board and every short corner entry crosses it.

  6. 6

    The corners hold the shortest words, so once the middle is in place the four tips of the diamond usually fall out with a single crossing letter each.

3 Tips for Puzzle Page

01

The board is the whole puzzle

Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.

02

Place the longest answer first

Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.

03

Neighbouring levels are the best hint

Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.

How to play

How to Solve a Puzzle Page Level

The order that clears a board fastest.

STEP 01

Read what you are given

Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.

STEP 02

Anchor with the answers you are sure of

Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.

STEP 03

Work outwards

Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.

How we check

Verified Answers, Not Guesses

How we verify these answers

Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.

Reviewed by Priya Raghunathan, Word Games Editor at Puzzle Solved. The full checking routine is in the methodology, and the standards every page is held to are in the editorial policy.
