Crossword Solver by TWF

Stuck on a crossword clue? Crossword Solver by The Word Finder gives you the nudge you need — or the whole answer — for the puzzles you already play.

SEARCH MILLIONS OF CLUES

Type a clue, or just part of one, and get matching answers in seconds. Every result shows the answer length, the puzzle it appeared in and the date it ran, so you can tell at a glance which one fits your grid.

HINTS BEFORE ANSWERS

Not every stuck moment needs the answer handed over. Open a clue and work down a ladder of hints, uncovering only as much as you want:

• Another clue — the same answer as it was clued in other puzzles, with the paper and date

• General hint — a nudge in the right direction

• Meaning — what the answer actually means

• Example sentence — the answer used in context

• Letters (anagram) — the right letters, scrambled

REVEAL ONE LETTER AT A TIME

Open today's board and tap a single tile to uncover one letter, reveal a whole word, or show the entire grid when you're ready to move on. Tap any clue to expand it in place, so you never lose your spot.

TODAY'S PUZZLES, EVERY MORNING

New boards land daily from 22 puzzles across the papers people actually solve:

• New York Times — Crossword, Mini, Midi

• The Guardian — Cryptic, Quick, Prize, Quick Cryptic, Quiptic, Weekend
