Knot-words

Knotwords looks like a bunch of miniature crossword puzzles, but play a few games and you’ll realise it’s something very different. Each puzzle is broken into pieces that resemble Tetris-style blocks. You’re provided with letters for each section, but they’re scrambled. Your job is to place each letter and make sure the entire crossword makes sense. For free, there’s a daily challenge and a set of monthly puzzles. A clever share system lets you post online how you did on a puzzle (and how long you took to complete it). It’s a brainy and fun in equal measure.
