New York Times Daily Crossword is a classic daily word-grid puzzle (15ร15 on weekdays, larger on Sundays).
Rules:
- Fill all across and down entries with answers that fit the clues.
- Words intersect at shared letters. Use crossings to confirm answers.
- Early-week puzzles (Mon-Thu) are easiest; difficulty ramps up toward Saturday.
- Most puzzles include a hidden theme tying longer answers together. Fridays and Saturdays are often theme-free.
- Knowledge, wordplay, and logic are enough, no guessing needed.
Why we like it:
- โ A timeless daily mental workout.
- โ Themes add flavor without overcomplicating.
- โ Each intersection reveals new insight.
