Motplot is a crossword but it plays like Sudoku
Motplot and has the vibe of Sudoku if you played it with words instead of numbers. I made it so I would stop losing at bananagrams to my 99 year old grandma, but she beats me at this too. It's free, there's a new puzzle daily, hope you like it!

The games are free to play but sign up is required to submit your scores to the leaderboard. As was the original intention over a year ago, I hope this proves useful to those office workers who have a lot of…
I made a crossword app for language learnersApr 2026 · cranki.app · ▲8Hi HN! In the last couple of weeks I've been working on Cranki: Cranki = Crosswords + Anki.

It's entirely client-side. No server, no database, no accounts, etc. Your words and stats are stored in local storage. I built this for myself but let me know if you like it!
