A marketing crossword,
fresh every morning.

One small 5×5 puzzle a day, built entirely from the language of marketing — SEO, brand, growth, advertising and AI search. Free, no sign-up, playable right in your browser.

Why a marketing crossword

Marketing runs on a shared vocabulary — canonical tags, crawl budget, intent, attribution, share of voice. A daily puzzle is a low-effort way to keep those terms sharp, meet a few you didn’t know, and take a genuine two-minute break that still lives in your world of work.

Every grid is themed — one day it’s video, the next SEO, brand or analytics — so the clues double as a light refresher on whatever corner of marketing that day belongs to.

How to play
  • Type anywhere. Click a square and start typing; the active word stays highlighted.
  • Move fast. Arrow keys and Tab jump between cells and clues; click a clue to select its word.
  • Check yourself. Test a single letter, the current word, or the whole grid at once.
  • Reveal if stuck. Uncover a word or the full solution whenever you like — no penalty.
  • Beat the clock, or don’t. A timer runs quietly; ignore it if you’re here to unwind.
