The Daily Ledger Crossword: a free daily crossword

A real newspaper-style crossword. Every day there’s a new 5×5 Mini and one bigger grid that grows through the week, with a 13×13 Big Sunday on Sundays. Today’s puzzles are the same for everyone, and nearly two thousand more wait under the sizes below. Each word glows when it’s right, and there’s no timer.

On a keyboard: type to fill, arrow keys to move, Tab for the next word, and Esc to leave the puzzle.

Across

    Down

      How it works: tap a square and type; tap it again to switch between across and down. The small numbers match the clues. Some squares belong to only one word, as in many newspaper crosswords. The short, one-word clues are the trickier ones. On a phone, ⊕ makes the squares bigger on the large grids (the grid then scrolls sideways).
