Today's Daily Themed Crossword answers

Today's solution appears above — every Across clue and answer followed by every Down clue and answer, numbered exactly as they are in the app. Each answer is listed on its own, so you can check just the clue that stumped you and leave the rest of the grid alone, and each clue links to its own page with a spoiler-free hint before the solution. The answers are confirmed against the day's puzzle and refreshed every day.

What is Daily Themed Crossword?

Daily Themed Crossword is a free daily puzzle app from PlaySimple Games, the Bengaluru studio behind Word Trip and Word Jam. It's one of the most-downloaded crossword apps on iOS and Android, and the pitch is in the name: every day's grid is built around a theme — Movies, Music, Sports, Books, Food — so the puzzle reads more like a themed trivia round than a newspaper crossword.

That makes it far more approachable than a late-week New York Times grid. Clues are short and direct, answers lean on pop culture and everyday knowledge, and there's no Monday-to-Saturday difficulty ramp. What trips solvers up instead is a single unfamiliar name, abbreviation, or reference outside their wheelhouse — which is exactly the one answer this page is here for.

Tips for solving Daily Themed Crossword

  • Start with the theme. The longest entries usually spell it out, and once you spot the topic the shorter clues around it read very differently.
  • Sweep the fill-in-the-blanks first. Clues like “___ Vegas” are nearly free letters, and they hand you crossings for the harder entries.
  • Watch for abbreviation markers. A clue ending in “Abbr.” or using an abbreviated word wants a short-form answer, which cuts the possibilities down fast.
  • Count the squares before you commit. Plenty of clues have two plausible answers; the length settles it without spending a hint.
  • Save your coins. In-app hints are the only nudge the game gives you, so checking one confirmed answer here keeps them for a day you really need them.
