Lexiclue

You've lived through a hundred stories. What do you remember?

Most crosswords reward knowing about opera singers, aqueduct history, and the true origin of the banana. Lexiclue rewards knowing about games: the vast array of minutiae you've picked up learning about hundreds of great games.

All the answers come from the world of gamers, most from inside games. Places you've murder-hoboed your way through. Items that dropped to cheering. Factions, magicks, allies, currencies, enemies, the names of consumables you stacked up and never used, the designers and studios you follow religiously. You didn't study to learn this stuff, because you learned it to git gud.

The answers are from a huge variety of games. From Tetris to Minecraft, Mario to Pac-Man, Pokémon to The Elder Scrolls, Griftlands to Mechabellum to Ring of Pain to Move or Die, it covers five decades of trivia. The older the game, the more notable it had to be to get included.

Features

• 20+ puzzles: spanning 5x5 through 19x19. Built with Crossword Compiler and hand-edited before shipping. Every answer checked.

• British-Style Grids: A specialist dictionary doesn't support American interlock density, so there are fewer crossings. To compensate, you can ask for a hint that reveals the game each clue came from. Obscure corners get reworked, not shipped.

• Themed puzzles: Love Indie? Roguelike? Smash Hits? Breakout hits? Larger puzzles are more general, but the smaller puzzles focus on specific genres.

• Import your own grids: if you like the engine, you can import your own iPuz files.

• Difficulty that ramps: grids you'll clear in two minutes, grids that may have openings for weeks.

• This game will be actively added to post-release, so if you want something you can ask for it and you might get it.
