Help with the NYT crossword

The New York Times crossword is the puzzle most of us reach for — and the one that stings the most when a single wrong letter quietly breaks three crossings. CrosswordAlly finds that letter for you, without showing you anything else.

Check your NYT grid from a screenshot

CrosswordAlly works with the New York Times daily crossword. Select the puzzle’s publication date, upload a screenshot of your grid, and the squares that don’t match the published solution are highlighted — nothing more is shown.

From there you can fix squares yourself, reveal a single letter, or reveal a full answer. Each level of help only happens when you ask for it, so checking for a mistake never spoils the rest of the puzzle.

Why the date matters

Every NYT crossword is tied to its publication date. Choosing the date before you upload lets CrosswordAlly load the exact puzzle you’re solving, so your letters are compared against the right solution — not a guess.

Stuck on a single clue instead?

If the grid is fine but one clue won’t budge, the crossword solver gives you a hint, one letter, or the answer — you control how much is revealed.
