About

Remember the puzzle books on the rack at the corner five-and-dime? Five & Dime brings them back — cream newsprint pages, a pencil in your hand, and a crossword grid waiting to be filled in.

It's a fill-in puzzle: every answer is already on the word list. Your job is to figure out where each word goes. The crossings are the clues — one word unlocks the next.

WRITE IT IN BY HAND • On iPad, write letters right in the squares with your Apple Pencil — or your finger if you don't use a Pencil. Your handwriting is read on your device. • On iPhone, write each letter on a roomy writing pad, or switch to a keyboard if you'd rather type. • Scribble back and forth over a letter to erase it, just like real paper.

A WORD TO START YOU OFF Starters, Themed and Medium puzzles come with one word already printed in, so there's always a place to begin. Jumbos don't — finding your way in is part of the challenge. Every puzzle has exactly one solution.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Cozy: gentle help when you want it. Wrong letters are flagged once a word is filled in, and your handwriting gets a little extra help. • Challenge: no hints. Fill everything in, then press CHECK.

A REAL BOOK FEEL Turn pages with a paper riffle, browse a printed table of contents that marks the puzzles you've started and finished, and watch each finished puzzle get its COMPLETED stamp.

150 PUZZLES IN FIVE VOLUMES Each book has 30 puzzles: quick Starters, Themed puzzles (Kitchen, Candy, Diner, Sports, Birds and more), Medium grids and big Jumbo challenges. • Volume 1 is free — a full book, no strings attached. • Buy any other volume and keep it forever. • Or unlock every volume, plus the 50-state MEGA BOOK, with Five & Dime Plus.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Your progress follows you across iPhone, iPad and Mac through iCloud.

NO RUSH, NO CLUTTER No ads, no timers, no streaks, no account. Just cozy puzzles whenever you have five minutes.

Five & Dime Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) that unlocks every volume and every MEGA BOOK while it's active. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
