Pro tips

3 Tips for the 2021 Mini Crossword Archive

Work a month at a time

This year holds 365 mini crossword boards. The clue style stays consistent within a month, so solving a run of consecutive dates trains you far faster than jumping around the calendar.

The theme carries the long answers

Every board is built around one idea, and the themed entries are almost always the longest slots. Spot what the long answers have in common and the short fills follow from the crossings.

Both board sizes run daily

Daily Themed Crossword publishes a full-size and a mini board every day. The full-size archive covers the other one, and the themed packs are the fixed boards that never rotate.

How we check

Verified Answers, Not Guesses

How we verify the 2021 archive

Every board in this year is stored from the day it ran, clue wording verbatim and answers length-checked against their slots. Dates are checked for continuity, so a missing day shows as a gap rather than passing unnoticed.

Reviewed by Nadia Okonkwo, Crossword and Clue Editor at Puzzle Solved. The full checking routine is in the methodology, and the standards every page is held to are in the editorial policy.

How to play

How to Solve a Daily Themed Crossword

How the daily and mini grids are built, and the order that solves them.

STEP 01

Read the theme before the clues

Daily Themed Crossword builds every puzzle around one idea, and the long entries almost always belong to it. Knowing the theme turns those from cold clues into a guessing game with a very short list.

STEP 02

Fill the short crossings first

Three and four letter answers use the most predictable vocabulary in the whole grid. Each one you place hands letters to the long clues for free, which is a better use of the first minute than staring at the hardest entry.

STEP 03

Abbreviations are signposted

A clue ending in "Abbr." or containing its own abbreviation is telling you the answer is short and clipped. The same goes for "Hyph." and "2 wds." — the clue format is half the answer.
