CrossEights for Publishers
Give your readers a new reason to visit every day
Eight intersecting eight-letter words. No crossword clues. CrossEights Daily challenges readers to spot patterns in an 8×8 grid, solve for a score, and climb your publication’s leaderboard. A fresh puzzle arrives every day.
It’s free for publishers. We host the game and supply the puzzles; you keep the page and surrounding ad space.
Why free? We’re building the CrossEights brand and developing more word games (ready for CrossNines? 😀). Making CrossEights Daily free for publishers helps new players discover what we’re creating, while giving your readers a fresh puzzle on your site every day.

Optional advanced setup: One DNS record helps names and streaks persist reliably in Safari and Firefox. Without it, some readers may need to re-enter their name or lose a streak between visits; their daily score still counts. See the setup guide or email support@crosseights.com for help.
