Yes, Cloozle is completely free. There are no paywalls, subscriptions, or premium features. The daily puzzle is available to everyone, supported by ads.
One new puzzle is released every day. Each puzzle arrives at the same time globally, so all players tackle the same challenge on the same day. As you play you also unlock larger grid sizes, each with its own rotation of puzzles you can revisit for extra practice.
Yes, your progress is saved automatically as you play. If you close the browser or reload the page mid-puzzle, you can pick up exactly where you left off on the same device. Your star ratings and streak are stored the same way.
Yes. Cloozle is a web-based game, but once it has loaded in your browser it keeps working without an active connection — you can keep solving even if you go offline. Your progress is stored locally in your browser, so nothing is lost while you are disconnected.
Each puzzle uses a star rating system. You earn up to three stars based on how many hints you use and how completely you solve the puzzle. Using zero hints and solving thoroughly earns the maximum rating. Your best rating for each puzzle is saved.
The 🔥 symbol shows your current daily streak — the number of consecutive days you have completed the daily puzzle. If you miss a day, the streak resets to zero. Streaks are a personal achievement metric and do not affect scoring within a puzzle.
Cloozle is built with accessibility in mind. The interface uses clear contrast and scalable text, and the action buttons carry descriptive labels for screen readers. If you have specific accessibility needs or suggestions, you can reach the team through the Ilex Studios site.
Yes, Cloozle includes optional sound effects that play when you swipe letters, solve a word, or complete the puzzle. You can toggle sound on and off with the sound button in the header.
Cloozle works in any modern web browser, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. It is designed to be responsive, so it works equally well on phones, tablets, and desktop computers. Just open the website and play.
After completing a puzzle, you can share your results. Cloozle generates a shareable summary showing your star rating and streak, without revealing the answers. This makes it easy to compare with friends who play the same daily puzzle.
If a clue has you stumped, tap the hint button to reveal a letter of the word you are stuck on. Hints are free, but using them lowers your star rating, so use them wisely. You can also switch to a different clue and come back to the hard one later.
