What is the Washington Post Crossword?

The Washington Post Crossword is the paper's free daily puzzle — a classic American 15×15 on weekdays (larger on Sunday), played at washingtonpost.com/games/crossword. It's known for fair, conversational cluing and approachable themes: a solid everyday solve that sits neatly between a quick mini and the toughest end of the NYT week. Millions of solvers treat it as a weekday habit, which is why a single tricky clue can send people hunting for just that one answer without spoiling the rest of the grid.

Tips for solving the WaPo Crossword

• Crack the theme early. Long theme answers often share a twist — spotting it hands you several 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.
