Stuck when SOLVING A CROSSWORD? - iCluer will help you solve it.
Want to BUILD your own crossword? - iCluer will make it much easier.

The free version of iCluer has all youll need to solve a crossword, including a huge offline database.

iCluer contains the entire free public database from Matt Ginsbergs »Crossword clue database« (http://www.otsys.com/clue) which includes over 2 million clues and over 267,000 distinct entries, based on crosswords published by NY Times, NY Sun, LA Times, Wall Street Yournal, etc. Available offline!

iCluer now also offers downloading additional databases - in this version are included words and definitions from English and German Wiktionary.

The basic keyword search pattern (all you need as crossword solver!) can contain any known and unknown (*) letters. Advanced keyword search (crossword builder mode, available in full version) can also contain vowels (@)/consonants ($) or multiple letters (%) pattern. Clue search, which works in combination with keyword search, helps you narrow down the results to find the best answer.
