NYT Crossword clues & answers
Every clue in today's grid, solved and explained, with the full answer key waiting behind a tap. Nothing spoils until you tap it.
How this hub works
The NYT Crossword is a full-size daily grid of Across and Down clues, running from an easier Monday puzzle up to a much tougher Saturday. Our daily page lists every clue with its answer, so you can check the ones you're stuck on without spoiling the rest of the grid for yourself.
We publish today's puzzle and keep yesterday's up as well, so if you fell behind by a day, you can still catch up.
Recent puzzles
We currently keep today's and yesterday's grids live. Check back daily, since each page updates as soon as the new puzzle drops.
