CROSSWORDS

The Atlantic daily crossword is popular with many readers but had an outdated brand and layout. The new version of this crossword page highlights the great work our crosswords editors put in to keep things fun, fresh and moving in Crosswords. The page needed to be flexible to direct readers to new puzzle features such as Caleb’s Inferno: a devilishly difficult puzzle that gets harder as you move down its depths. This page utilizes our existing PuzzleMe platform with new custom icons and spacing to differentiate each daily puzzle and highlight the increasing difficulty throughout the week. An improved design layout for displaying ads, newsletter sign-up, and recirculation are other improvements we made to the page.
