A game by William Harvey · A new grid every Sunday
The SEO Crossword.
One grid a week, the same for everyone: twenty SEO terms drawn from a bank of two hundred, new at midnight every Sunday. Solve it against the clock, check or reveal if you must, and see where you rank this week.

How it's scored
- 1
10 points a word
Every across and down answer that is fully correct scores ten, so a partly filled grid still counts for something.
- 2
Speed and a clean solve
Finish the whole grid correctly and you get 25 points for every full minute left of fifteen, plus 150 if you did it without revealing anything.
- 3
Help costs
Check the grid for 10 points, reveal a letter for 25 or a whole word for 60. Nothing goes below zero.

About the grid
The words are SEO vocabulary: crawling, indexing, canonicals, hreflang, links, structured data, performance. Every Sunday at midnight, UK time, a new grid is drawn from a bank of two hundred terms, and everyone plays the same one that week, so the weekly board is a fair race. The answers stay on the server; checking and revealing ask it, and it keeps count so the board reflects how much help was used.
