How themed crosswords work
In a themed crossword the title is your biggest clue. If the puzzle is called “Up in the Air”, expect answers like PILOT, CLOUD and WINGS. Once you see the theme, every new answer gets easier. Each puzzle is a 12×12 grid with about 15 clues.
A new theme every day
The themed Daily Crossword brings a new topic every day at midnight. The list above holds every theme we have, so you can jump straight to the topics you love. Past daily puzzles with their dates are in the archive.
Print a theme
Each theme has a print link: you get the grid, all clues and, if you like, an answer key on a separate page. Themes for younger solvers are collected in crosswords for kids.
