April 21, 2021 — How the Grids Break Down
These are the CodyCross daily crosswords for April 21, 2021, a Wednesday. The game publishes two grids every day — a quick small puzzle and a longer midsize one — and this page carries both, 37 clues in total. The longest answer across the pair is PROXIMITY at 9 letters.
The daily crosswords sit entirely outside the world-and-group structure of the main game: finishing them does not advance your world progress, and they use their own clue pool. They also lean harder on general knowledge than the themed worlds do, so the letter count shown on each row is often the fastest way in — match the length first, then the meaning.
Neighbouring dates are linked below, and the full daily archive holds 2,012 dates. For the main game, the world index covers 108 worlds and 10,716 puzzles.

3 Tips for CodyCross
The board is the whole puzzle
Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.
Place the longest answer first
Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.
Neighbouring levels are the best hint
Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.
How to Solve a CodyCross Level
The order that clears a board fastest.
Read what you are given
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
Anchor with the answers you are sure of
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify these answers
Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
