Our hope is that you'll find this site to be the most useful word-of-the-day site on the internet. Here's what others are saying:
Visit Crosswordese.com. At this site, you’ll be introduced to short, often unusual English words that puzzle constructors love. ~ Dummies.com
...brush up on your crosswordese—words that appear frequently in crosswords but almost never in conversation... Perhaps predictably, there’s also a whole website devoted to crosswordese, with a new word featured every day and an extensive archive. ~ A. A. Newton, Lifehacker.com
To do well solving crosswords, you absolutely need to keep a running mental list of “crosswordese”. ~ Marc Romano, Crossword: One Man's Journey into America's Crossword Obsession
“Hey Grant, I have another clever crossword clue for you from Crosswordese.com...” ~ A Way With Words
The
Word
of the Day is
the place you'll want to visit every day. Some days you'll
discover words that show up often in crossword puzzles - perhaps
once or twice a month. Other days you'll find words that show up
only once or twice a year. Generally, you'll run into easier clues
early in the week and harder clues toward the end of the week.
.
It
may be my biased opinion, but this just might be the most useful
word-of-the-day site on the Internet since, as a crossword solver,
these are words you will use – often within days
after reading about them. If you'd like to receive the
word-of-the-day in your email box every day, just send
me a note.

The
Cruciverbalist
According
to Dictionary.com, a cruciverbalist is a constructor of crosswords
or an enthusiast of crosswords. This is where I report on the
world of cruciverbalism and/or anything else I feel like writing
about on a particular day. Also, this is where I list the
nominations for the Clever Clue of the Month at the end of every
month.
