Mini Crossword Unlimited

Mini Crossword Unlimited turns the one-a-day habit into an endless run. Solve a grid, hit Next mini, and the next one loads instantly — no waiting for tomorrow and no daily cap. It is the simplest way to play a genuinely unlimited mini crossword whenever the mood strikes.

Every puzzle is free. Pick the size that fits your break: a quick 5×5, a meatier 6×6, or a proper challenge with a 7×7. Switch sizes any time — each draws from its own deep pool of mini crosswords, unlimited and always ready.

Prefer a daily ritual too? Unlimited complements it rather than replacing it. Warm up on the shared daily puzzle, then keep the streak going here, and revisit any dated grid in the archive whenever you want to replay a favorite.

Mini Crossword Unlimited FAQ

Is Mini Crossword Unlimited free?
Yes. Every puzzle in Unlimited is free to play, with no daily limit, no signup and no paywall. Start solving and keep going as long as you like.
How is unlimited different from the daily puzzle?
The daily puzzle is a single shared 5×5 grid published once per day. Unlimited mode serves puzzle after puzzle from our whole library of published grids, including ones that have rolled out of the 90-day archive, so you never have to wait for tomorrow.
Can I play old mini crosswords?
Yes. Unlimited recycles the full back catalog of puzzles, and every dated grid is also browsable by date in the archive at /archive.
Is this affiliated with NYT?
No. This is an independent alternative. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by, or endorsed by The New York Times.
What sizes are available?
Three sizes: 5×5, 6×6, and 7×7. Switch between them any time with the size selector, or explore each on its own page at /puzzles/5x5, /puzzles/6x6, and /puzzles/7x7.
