Crossword Master Dated Daily Answers
219 dated puzzles holding 5,346 clues, from January 1, 2026 to August 15, 2026.
The Dated Daily Archive
Crossword Master runs two kinds of daily puzzle, and this page covers the calendar-dated set — one grid tied to one specific date, archived here from January 1, 2026 through August 15, 2026. There are 219 of them holding 5,346 clues, averaging 24 per grid.
The other set, on the main daily hub, is the repeating month-day series: puzzles labelled like "December 10" that come round the same whichever year you play them. Keeping the two apart matters, because if you search for a date and land on the wrong series the clues will not match your grid at all. If your puzzle showed a full date, you want this archive.
Every page below splits across and down entries into separate tables with their grid numbers, so you can line the answers up against your own board rather than reading one long list. Puzzles are grouped by month, newest first. For the numbered campaign puzzles rather than either daily series, the Crossword Master hub indexes those separately.

3 Tips for the Dated Archive
Match the date, not the memory
Every board in this run is tied to a calendar date and never changes afterwards, so the safest way in is to find your date first. The index below runs newest to oldest across 219 boards and 5,346 clues.
Old boards are the best practice
Clue style repeats even when answers do not, so working backwards through a month is the cheapest way to get faster. Nothing here is removed once published.
The numbered archive is the other half
Dated boards rotate; the numbered puzzle archive is fixed and far larger, which makes it the better place to drill a clue type that keeps catching you out.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify the dated archive
Every board in this index is read from its own stored file, with clue counts computed from the data rather than typed in. Dates are checked for continuity so a missing day shows up as a gap instead of passing unnoticed.

How to Solve a Crossword Master Puzzle
The order that clears a crossword fastest, whatever the theme.
Start with the fills you are certain of
Short answers with common letter patterns anchor the grid. Every letter one of them places is a free constraint on the crossing clues, which is why the grid opens up far faster from the easy corners than from the clue you are stuck on.
Use the crossings, not the clue
When a clue will not give, stop reading it and look at what crosses it. Two or three confirmed letters usually reduce the answer to one candidate, and that is quicker than re-reading a clue you have already failed to solve.
Let the theme carry the long answers
The long entries usually share a theme, so once one of them falls the others follow the same pattern. Solve a long answer and re-read the other long clues immediately — they are rarely independent.
