Question 2

Is the WSJ Crossword free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Wall Street Journal's daily crossword is free to play at wsj.com/games/crosswords without a subscription, and our answers and clues are free too.

Question 3

What is the WSJ Friday contest crossword?

Accepted Answer

Every Friday the WSJ runs a contest (meta) puzzle: you solve the grid, then extract a hidden word or phrase from it and submit that as your entry. Because the contest stays open until Sunday night, the WSJ doesn't publish the solution until it closes — we post the full grid here as soon as it does.

Question 4

How hard is the WSJ Crossword?

Accepted Answer

It's a fair, polished 15×15 on weekdays with a larger themed grid at the end of the week. Editor Mike Shenk keeps the cluing clean rather than brutal, so it's generally friendlier than a late-week NYT while still leaning on business and finance references.

Question 5

Where can I find past WSJ Crossword answers?

Accepted Answer
