Mini
About twenty words, the length of an espresso. 5 to 10 minutes.
Arrow-word puzzles, newsstand style
French mots fléchés to solve the way you would at the counter of a café: one grid, one coffee, ten minutes to yourself. The clues sit inside the squares, the arrows give the direction, the words cross — exactly like in the newspaper.
A front page like a newspaper's, a crisp grid, and a win worth savouring.
The daily challenge is waiting
Clues in the squares, arrows and a French keyboard
Grid finished, streak kept alive
The size sets how big the grid is, and therefore how long the session lasts. It is chosen independently from the difficulty.
About twenty words, the length of an espresso. 5 to 10 minutes.
The traditional newspaper size, around 35 words. 10 to 20 minutes.
The big weekend grid, around 60 words. 20 to 40 minutes.
Grid size and clue difficulty are set separately, the way a puzzle magazine does it.
The thing is named plainly. To get started, or for a quiet grid at the counter.
Rarer words and tighter phrasing, with no gratuitous traps.
Wordplay, double meanings, the clue you have to earn.
Every morning a Classique grid is waiting on the home screen, like the newspaper puzzle. Finish it within the day to keep your streak alive.
The app keeps your notebook: grids completed, current streak, best streak, average time per size. Everything is counted on your device, and published nowhere.
Both automatic behaviours can be turned off in the settings if you would rather move square by square.
The game is designed to be read without effort, including by tired eyes.
No account, no sign-up. Your grids, your progress and your settings stay on your device, and everything works offline: on a train, on a plane, deep in the countryside.
No advertising ever interrupts a session. One hint is free per grid; if you want another one, the game offers to let you watch a short video — the decision is yours, and the advertising consent form is shown only at that moment. If the video is unavailable, the hint is granted anyway.
No subscription, no renewal. A single purchase, handled by the App Store or Google Play, restorable on your other devices signed in to the same account.
Coming soon to iPhone, iPad and Android. Rated 4+ / PEGI 3.
