Still paying for daily puzzles? Try these free alternatives instead

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. These are my favorite free Crossword and Sudoku apps for desktop, mobile, and even multiplayer sessions with friends. If you enjoy the daily ritual of solving a crossword over your morning coffee or, like me, squeezing in a Sudoku during your break, you don't need an expensive subscription. These puzzle apps and sites are completely free and I don't miss my old subscription services at all. For solo solving, I haven't found anything better than the Omni Crosswords app. It offers a fresh daily crossword in a clean, ad-free interface that works well on both desktop and mobile.
