About the October 9, 2025 puzzle

The October 9, 2025 Daily Themed Crossword is a 13 x 13 grid with 67 clues — 34 across and 33 down. Puzzles tend to get harder as the week progresses, so a Thursday grid sits where you would expect it in that run.

There is also a small 5x5 Mini published the same day — its answers are on the October 9 2025 Mini page. If a clue reappears in a later puzzle its own answer page is updated, so bookmarking the clue is more reliable than bookmarking the date. Older puzzles live in the archive. We are in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the publishers that created the game.
