How it works

Tap a square to choose it, and tap it again to switch between across and down. Type to fill in letters; the cursor moves along the word for you. Check marks any wrong letters, Reveal word fills in the one you are on. The numbers in brackets are the word lengths, so (3,6) is two words. Your progress is saved on this device until next Monday.

One clue each week is an anagram, marked with a red tag: rearrange the capital letters to get the answer, and the words after them are an ordinary clue to it as well.

Player answers are surnames as fans say them, so Michael van Gerwen is VANGERWEN (3,6). Rankings and walk-on songs are as they stood when the puzzle was set.
