Software

Crosswords, built in house.

Alongside the books, Rhubarb Press develops Crossword Capital: new crosswords every day, on the web and in an app.

Crossword Capital

Six crosswords a day, from London and New York.

Crossword Capital is a crossword website and app made by Rhubarb Press Ltd. Each day it publishes six new crosswords: three in the British style (a Quick, a Classic and a Jumbo) and three in the American style (a Mini, a larger Mini and a full 15×15 Daily). Every crossword is set and checked before it goes out.

Ways to play

  • On your own. Solve against the clock, or at your own pace with no score kept.
  • Together. Share a crossword with a friend and solve it as a pair.
  • Head to head. Take turns on the same grid, or race to fill it. One against one, or two against two, against other players or a computer opponent.
  • Leagues. Daily scores count towards a league table; wins in head-to-head games count towards a rating.

Crossword Capital is free to play. A subscription opens the archive of earlier crosswords and removes the daily limits.
