Description
One beautiful clue-ladder a day.
Every morning, Foolscap sets a fresh ladder of cryptic clues — composed entirely on your iPhone, and never repeated. Solve a rung and the next inherits a letter, so each day's sheet is one connected climb, not seven scattered puzzles.
A cryptic clue has two halves: a straight definition and a piece of wordplay — an anagram, a hidden word, a charade — that both lead to the same answer. Foolscap is built for the pleasure of cracking that. And when you solve a rung, it shows you the wordplay decomposition: the "why" a good crossword editor would point to. Over a few mornings, the tricks start to click.
Every clue is checked on your device before you ever see it. The wordplay genuinely leads to the answer, the definition fits, and no other word also solves it. A clue that can't be made fair is simply never shown.
A QUIET DAILY RITUAL
• A fresh, fair cryptic ladder every day
• No streaks, no badges, no timers, no leaderboards — come back because the next sheet is worth it
• Learn the craft: every solve reveals its wordplay
• Calm, letterpress design made for a slow morning solve
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Composed on your iPhone — nothing leaves your device
• No account, no email, no tracking
• Works offline
A few rungs of every ladder are free, plus the full ladder for your first days. Foolscap Plus opens the complete daily ladder, the wordplay decompositions, and the full archive of past days — every one recomposed on your phone, never stored.
