How to use the crossword solver

  1. Type the clue as it is printed, or just its key words.
  2. Pick the answer's length. Then fill in the letters you already have from the crossing answers and leave the rest empty.
  3. Press Find answer. A clue we have seen opens its own page, with the answer under tiles you can flip one at a time. Otherwise you get answers from similar clues, and every word that fits your letters, most common first.

Which puzzles are covered?

The New York Times crossword, the Mini and the Midi, every day, with clues added as each puzzle comes out.

Can I see the answer one letter at a time?

Yes. On each clue's page the answer sits under tiles: flip one letter, or try the three hints first (a meaning, the letters scrambled, and another clue for the same answer).

Is this affiliated with The New York Times?

No. UnscrambleX is an independent site; the puzzles belong to their publishers.
