A crossword with depth

Words don't just run across and down. They run through a cube in any of 26 directions: straight, flat-diagonal, and corner-to-corner through space. Every crossing gives you letters for free.

Move around

Drag to spin the cube, scroll or pinch to zoom.
Click any cube to start typing there.
Click it again (or press Space) to switch to another word through that cube.
Tab / Enter next clue · Shift+Tab previous.
← → step along the word · Backspace erase · 0 reset view.

Read the directions

Each clue shows which way its word runs, colour-coded by axis. Faces of the cube are labelled so you never lose your bearings.

R Right / L Left

U Up / D Down

F Forward / B Back

DRB = Down-Right-Back, a space diagonal

See inside

Explode slider pulls the cubes apart.
Slice shows one layer at a time: [ ] step through layers.
Focus (\) fades everything but the active word and its crossings.
Auto-turn swings the cube so the active word is never seen end-on.
ISO (5) switches to isometric: nothing shrinks with distance, so F / T / S show a face as a flat crossword. Add Slice to read one layer at a time.
