Morning Post's Mini Crossword is a free 5×5 puzzle published fresh every morning. There are no black squares — every row and every column is a real five-letter word, with ten quick clues in all (five across, five down). Most people finish in a few minutes. It's made in Australia, there's nothing to download, and you don't need an account to play.
To play, tap a square and start typing, switching between Across and Down as you go. If you get stuck, use the check and reveal helpers. Your completion time and daily streak are saved on your device, so you can come back tomorrow and keep the run going.
