About the LA Times Crossword

The Los Angeles Times crossword is a syndicated daily 15×15 puzzle (with a larger Sunday grid) distributed by Tribune Content Agency, which means it appears in newspapers far beyond Los Angeles and online across many sites. Edited by Patti Varol, it's known for being friendly and accessible — smooth, fair cluing with playful themes — which makes it a favourite for solvers who find the toughest end of the New York Times week too punishing. It follows a gentle-to-harder weekly arc, but even its late-week puzzles tend to be more approachable than the NYT's Fridays and Saturdays.

Tips for solving the LA Times Crossword

• Crack the theme early. LA Times puzzles are usually themed, and the long theme answers often share a twist — spotting it hands you several long entries at once.
• Start with the fill-in-the-blanks. They're the quickest points and flood the grid with crossing letters.
• Trust the crossings. A clue you can't get alone usually falls once its crossing words are in place.
• Watch the endings. Plurals end in S, past-tense answers in ED — free letters once you notice the clue's tense.
• Use the solver for one answer. Our crossword solver reveals a single clue's answer from your known letters, without spoiling the rest.
