Crosswords at HPC
Before other online sites included Agatha Christie crosswords, many of these included here were already around. For 14 years, Hercule Poirot Central has had Agatha Christie-themed crosswords.
Most crosswords here are timed to give you a little challenge. "Clear" wipes out everything so you can start fresh, "Reveal Letter" does exactly that (it's cheating!), and "Solution" gives you the crossword completely filled out.
These crosswords are completed right on the Web in real time. You can do it on your Android or Apple device (tablet or phone) or PC. If you'd like to complete a crossword at the office or if you're on the go, you can print it out instead (available in a PDF format).
