How it works

Tap a square to choose it, and tap it again to switch between across and down. Type to fill in letters; the cursor moves along the word for you. The numbers in brackets are the word lengths, so (3,6) is two words. Your progress is saved on this device until next Monday.

Scoring. Every word you get right is a visit: 20 points a letter, up to a maximum 180, and it turns green. Stuck? Reveal letter fills in the square you are on and costs that letter's 20 points; Reveal word gives you the whole word for nothing. Check marks wrong letters for free. Finish with every point and no help for a nine-darter; after that come Big Fish, Ton-plus, Game shot, Bed and breakfast and Bust.

One clue each week is an anagram, marked with a red tag: rearrange the capital letters to get the answer, and the words after them are an ordinary clue to it as well.

Player answers are surnames as fans say them, so Michael van Gerwen is VANGERWEN (3,6). Rankings and walk-on songs are as they stood when the puzzle was set.
