About Giant Crossword (Daily Mail)

Giant Crossword is one of about thirty puzzles on the Daily Mail games page, free in the browser with ads. Each one opens on a start screen that carries the day's date, and every reader gets the same puzzle that day.

It is a standard crossword on a large grid: read a clue, count the squares and fill in the answer, with crossing answers sharing letters. The size makes it a puzzle for a long sitting rather than a coffee break, and the Daily Mail promotes it as one of its iconic puzzles.

The puzzle opens behind the Daily Mail's consent screen, where you either accept personalised ads or buy an ad-free subscription. It suits readers who like a giant crossword with their news and want a fresh one every day.

How to play Giant Crossword (Daily Mail)

1. Open Giant Crossword on the Daily Mail games page.
2. Pick a clue from the across or down list.
3. Type the answer into its squares.
4. Use crossing letters to work out harder clues until the grid is full.

Tips

• Fill in the short answers first; they give letters for the long ones.
• Come back to a stuck corner later; a fresh look often finds the answer.
