Damn it! That's what I hoped I wouldn't have to. Especially the example under the form.

  Even a simple sentence at the top explaining who the site is for and what it does would be a HUGE improvement. "Crosstips helps you finish that crossword you're stuck on." "Need help with your crossword?" "Can't solve a tough crossword? We're here to help..." These aren't very good, but at least I know what the site is for now...having a description will also help with SEO.

    Not just crosswords... scrabble!

      I don't think it would be all that useful for scrabble. For that you would have to be able to input random letters and get words out. I didn't, however, have any difficulty figuring out what the site was for (the name and the icon made it fairly clear I thought). The "crossword puzzle" metaphor could have been incorporated a bit more in the design, maybe.

  Well, Google does not explain what their search is for; why should you have to? Considering it is a niche market for folks that want to solve crossword puzzles, and you had enough people talk about it with each other, you could keep the front page non-descriptive. It is a destination site that people will visit when they know about what it does. I wouldn't want to see a slogan every time I visited the site, anyways. Change the tip word daily to mix it up a bit.
