About Daily Crossword (Fox News)
Fox News moved its Daily Crossword into its own games player in October 2026, the same one that runs its Mini Crossword and word games. The puzzle we found on 26 October was a 7x7 grid with a few black squares and easy clues such as "A great deal" for 1 Across. The block pattern was the same on 25 and 26 October with new clues each day. The page text still calls it a full-size themed crossword, and the subtitle under the title was left over from the word search. Dated editions go back to 18 October 2026, and the games page has a date picker with a Today button to open them.
How to play Daily Crossword (Fox News)

- Tap a square to see its clue in the bar above the keyboard.
- Type the answer, and the cursor moves along the entry.
- Tap the same square again to switch between Across and Down.
- Fill every square to finish the day's grid.

Tips
- The clues are short and direct, so the first idea is often right.
- With a 7x7 grid, one long answer across the middle gives letters to most Down entries.
