Frequently asked

  • What crossword puzzles do you cover?
    We cover three New York Times crosswords daily: the NYT Mini (5×5), NYT Midi (9–11 squares), and the full NYT Daily (15×15). We're adding guides for the LA Times, USA Today, and Universal next.
  • When are crossword answers published?
    Every morning. Today's NYT Mini, Midi, and Daily answers go live as soon as the puzzles drop.
  • Do you explain why each answer fits the clue?
    Yes — every clue page includes definitions, etymology, usage examples, and context about how the answer connects to the clue. We go beyond just listing the answer.
  • Can I search for a specific clue I'm stuck on?
    Yes — head to Search by Clues, type any clue text, and we'll surface the answer along with similar clues we've explained.
  • Can I find an answer if I only know some letters?
    Yes — the Crossword Solver searches by letter pattern. Type the letters you have and ? for the ones you don't (like C?A?I) and it lists every matching answer with real example clues.
