NYT Crossword answers for September 17, 2026

The solution is organized exactly by Across and Down direction. Selecting a clue highlights its grid path when coordinates are available, while list-only records keep every clue and answer accessible without inventing a grid.

About the NYT Crossword

The full NYT Crossword normally uses a 15×15 weekday grid and expands to 21×21 on Sunday, with clue difficulty generally increasing through the week.

Crossing letters are the most reliable way to confirm uncertain fill. Reveal only the letters at an intersection first, then use the full-answer control if the clue still does not resolve.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this NYT Crossword page without seeing every answer?
Yes. Answers stay behind individual reveal controls, so you can uncover one letter, group, word, domino, square, or clue at a time.
Can I open one NYT Crossword clue without revealing the whole grid?
Yes. Each Across and Down clue has a dedicated page, and individual clue answers can be revealed separately from the complete grid.
Where can I find past NYT Crossword answers?
Open the NYT Crossword archive linked on this page and choose any available date. Each archived puzzle has its own permanent answer page.
