How it works

The clues are inside the grid. This is the classic Swedish style called bildkryss: each clue sits in a box, and an arrow shows where its answer goes.
The picture is a clue too. Its answer is a Swedish word or phrase that says what the picture shows.
Help is there if you get stuck. Check your letters, or reveal a letter or a word. What you fill in is saved on your device, so you can stop and come back later.
You get a word list at the end. Every word of the puzzle with its meaning, to read through once more.

How the levels are made

The levels follow how common a word is in Swedish, counted in written texts and in film and TV subtitles. A word is kept only if it is common in both. Each level's puzzles are made from that level's words, the layouts are made by a computer program, and every clue is checked by hand.

The names A0 to B2 are borrowed from the CEFR scale, but the levels are our own estimate and not an official grading. Recalling a word from a clue is also harder than recognizing it in a text, so if a level feels too hard, try the one below. It says nothing about your Swedish.

Word lists from Lingvoberry (CC BY-SA 4.0). The counts behind the lists come from wordfreq and FrequencyWords.

Level	Words in the level	Words in all	Clues
A0	The 400 most common	400	English
A1	The next 500	900	English
A2	The next 900	1,800	Mostly English
B1	The next 1,800	3,600	Simple Swedish
B2	The next 3,400	7,000	Swedish synonyms
