Play Our Daily Mini Crossword – No Subscription, Free

Bored of the NYT Mini, the Washington Post Mini or the LA Times Mini? Try the Daze Puzzle Mini Crossword instead. A new word puzzle every day, clever clues and a grid you can actually play with.

Why DP Mini

Every clue here is written for people with an actual life outside crosswords. No obscure trivia that only lifelong solvers would know, nothing that punishes you for not knowing an 1800s poet’s middle name. The difficulty sits in the middle on purpose: enough friction to wake your brain up, not so much that you close the tab and never come back.

There’s no premium version dangled in front of you and no artificial difficulty built to push you toward hints. Just the grid and a clean solution.

How to use DP Mini

Type your answers straight into the Across and Down sections. If you want a little help (the polite word for cheating), the Reveal section gives you a single letter. Need more than that? Reveal Word fills in the whole entry. And if you’re in a rush, Reveal Grid solves the thing outright. It’s all there in the tool.

DP Mini as a morning routine

Some people meditate, some journal, some do a crossword. There’s something satisfying about a small win before the day gets going, that moment the last letter clicks and the grid fills in. Consider this an invitation to make it part of your morning. No downloads, no card details, no strings, just the satisfaction of finishing.
