Rate it

The New York Post's free full-size crossword, new every day with the past week to catch up on.

The New York Post publishes a free 15x15 crossword every day on its games page. Each puzzle is filed under its date, so every solver works the same grid, and the player lists the previous week so you can go back to one you missed. It runs in the browser with ads and no account.

About Daily Crossword (New York Post)

The Daily Crossword is the full-size puzzle in the New York Post's games section, which also has a daily mini crossword, Headline Hunters, Wordrow, jigsaws of the front and back pages, and three sudokus. Every day brings a new standard American-style grid, 15 squares by 15, with around 80 answers.

The puzzle runs in an embedded crossword player that opens on a date picker. Each grid carries its date, such as Fri, Oct 2, 2026, and the picker shows the last seven days, so all solvers on a given day get the same puzzle and can catch up on the rest of the week.

Solving works as in any online crossword: click a square or a clue, type the answer, and switch between across and down. The player tracks whether a puzzle is started or completed and how long you took, and an ad may play before the puzzle opens.

It suits crossword solvers who want a free daily full-size grid without a subscription or an account, and readers who already play the Post's mini.

How to play Daily Crossword (New York Post)

  1. Open the Daily Crossword page on nypost.com.

  3. Click a clue or a square and type your answer.
  4. Switch between across and down to use crossing letters.
  5. Fill the whole grid to finish and see your time.

Tips

  • Start with fill-in-the-blank clues; they are usually the quickest.
  • Short answers often repeat across crosswords, so learn the common ones.
  • Use the date picker to solve any day from the past week you missed.
