About the New York Times Crossword

The New York Times Crossword has run since 1942 and has been edited by Will Shortz since 1993. A new puzzle is published every day of the week, and the grids get harder as the week goes on: Monday is the gentlest, Saturday the toughest, and Sunday is a 21 × 21 grid built around a named theme rather than raw difficulty.

How to use this site

Every puzzle gets its own page with the solved grid, the full Across and Down lists, and a reveal button on each entry so nothing is spoiled before you want it. Each clue also gets a page of its own with the answer, the entries it crosses in the grid, and other fills the same clue has taken in puzzles we index. Use the clue finder in the sidebar to search this puzzle by clue text, or switch it to letter mode and type a pattern such as A??A to match by known letters.

Where the answers come from

Answers are imported automatically from each puzzle as it is released — the Times posts the next day’s crossword the evening before, so the newest grid appears here as soon as it goes live. Older puzzles stay available in the archive, grouped by year and month. This is an independent reference site and is not affiliated with The New York Times.
