The Ubercross Fiddy is, to my knowledge, the world’s largest “American-style” crossword, following the rules that bind 99% of all crosswords published in American newspapers. Find it here.

The Ubercross Alpha is a 309×309 design, which to my knowledge is the largest crossword design, period. It’s currently being offered to Hammacher Schlemmer, whose “World’s Largest Crossword Puzzle” is a mere 303×303.

The Ubercross Blog is right here. This site has ceased updating, but it has 57 crosswords for your amusement! Check ‘em out in the archives, below.

[Edit: Here's where the announcement that this site would cease updating originally went.]

Rather than leave you puzzleless today, I’ll take this opportunity to recommend Matt Ginsberg’s Crossword Contest, one of the consistently cleverest crossword sites I’ve found, as well as the brilliant explorer Brendan Emmett Quigley (whom veteran users will realize that I’ve recommended before).

(It got changed significantly between that version and this one.)
