What is a Crossword Clue?

According to The New York Times, a crossword clue is “a hint that the solver must decipher to find the answer that is then entered into the puzzle grid.” Depending on the puzzle type, clues can range from synonyms to definitions, from puns to wordplay and from general knowledge to fill-in-the-blanks. The possibilities are endless. 

If you already have an answer to a clue, use the Crossword Clue tool above to search for clues that have the same answer. 

What is a Crossword Answer?

When you solve for a clue, the resulting word or phrase is the answer, sometimes called a “fill”. Fills can range from one word to multiple words. When you have solved for all clues in a puzzle, all of the answers contribute to a completed puzzle.
