About Daily Crossword (Fox News)

Fox News runs a free games page with crosswords, sudoku, a word search and a few small word games, and its Daily Crossword is the main puzzle there. The grids come from King Features Syndicate, the Hearst syndicate that also supplies many newspapers' crosswords, and they are played in an embedded online player.

Each day there is one new crossword in the classic American style: a symmetrical grid of interlocking answers with numbered across and down clues. You click a square or a clue, type your answers, and the player moves along the entry. It works on phones as well as desktops, with the device keyboard.

The puzzle is free with ads and needs no account. It sits next to a smaller Mini Crossword on the same page for days when you only have a few minutes.

It suits solvers who want a traditional daily crossword without a subscription.

How to play Daily Crossword (Fox News)

Tips

• Start with fill-in-the-blank clues; they are usually the easiest.
• Short answers in the corners often unlock the long ones.
