The World Cup started, and Cruzadinha joined in

The Copa Pack 2026 is open in Cruzadinha BLA, and the App Store put the Coleção da Copa Special Edition on display. Thirty crosswords to follow the World Cup by the word.

The World Cup started, and Cruzadinha BLA joined in. The Copa Pack 2026 is open in the app library: thirty crosswords across six sub-collections, each clue written in prose. The Coleção da Copa Special Edition is on display in the App Store. The window runs until July 19.

Artwork for the Coleção da Copa Special Edition: green, yellow and blue bunting over a crossword grid with colored cells, in the Cruzadinha BLA palette.

Cruzadinha follows the World Cup its own way: not by the match schedule, by the word each Cup leaves behind. The Copa Pack 2026 is already in the app library, with the seasonal flag up top and the card on display. Thirty crosswords to cross the tournament.

The App Store itself put the Coleção da Copa Special Edition on display in the store window, live while the World Cup happens.

Six sub-collections, five crosswords in each. The history of the World Cups, football and its vocabulary, the countries that play, the Brazilian squad, the host countries, and the legends that stayed. And each clue written in prose, the Cruzadinha BLA way: the clue is reading, not a dictionary definition.

Whoever plays inside the window keeps the thirty crosswords for good, and earns the collectible Copa icon, which stays in the app even after the season closes. On July 20 the Special Edition leaves the stage, and the icon goes back to the classic one, quietly.

The usual archive stays whole right beside it: the daily Mini, the Big Sunday, the themes. The Copa Pack is an addition, not a swap.

The Copa Pack page opens the six sub-collections one by one. Made in Goiânia 🇧🇷.
