Play the Daily Crossword for free

There’s nothing like a great crossword . Crosswords have been the go-to morning activity for millions of people around the world. Back in the day, a crossword used to be found at the end of the newspaper. Now, there are easier ways to play for as long as you want. The Daily Crossword offers a range of features and tools to make crosswording even more fun.

Looking for a crossword game to incorporate into your morning routine? Here’s everything you need to know about Daily Crossword, including how to use the different settings and some tips and tricks for getting the best possible score.

How to play the Daily Crossword

At its core, the Daily Crossword works the same as other crossword games . You’ll be presented with a grid of boxes, with some boxes having numbers that correlate to clues across or down. If a clue is labeled as being across, you’ll need to find a word that corresponds to that clue and fill it in horizontally. If a clue is labeled as being down, you’ll do the same, but vertically, starting from the top. Only the right word will fit, though. While you might be able to find other words that correspond to the clue and fit in the boxes, the right word will have letters that are featured in other words that cross it.

That’s really all there is to it. If you find all the correct words, the puzzle will fit together nicely without any errors or blank boxes. Of course, you might find yourself needing to erase words that you’ve previously filled in if you find that words don’t quite fit together.

Settings you can change

You can change in Daily Crossword to make the experience of using it even better. The settings are available both on the web and in the mobile app.

Daily Crossword allows you to change settings relatively easily using the three-line menu button on the top left-hand corner of the screen. There, you can access a range of different settings. For example, you can opt to show a timer. The time will continue ticking while you're playing, and it will continue ticking whether you show it or not, considering the fact that it impacts your final score. If you're competitive, you may want to show the time on the screen to ensure you complete the crossword in a reasonable amount of time.

On top of having settings related to the timer, you can also select whether the arrow keys on your keyboard only change the cell that you’re on or the direction in which you’re typing, and you can choose to automatically skip over filled squares when you’re typing. You can also choose settings related to the clues. For example, you can increase the size of the clues, and you can show the clues as a list on the side of the puzzle, or only a single clue at once. It’s worth taking a look at the settings to set up Daily Crossword to be perfect for you.

Free Daily Crossword hints and features

There are other tools that you can use in Daily Crossword, too. For starters, there’s a check and auto-check feature, which essentially checks whether a letter, word, or puzzle that you’ve typed in is correct. You can press the check button to check either a letter, word, or puzzle. And you can enable auto-check to automatically check any mistakes as you type. To enable auto-check, press the check button, then toggle on auto-check.

If you’re really stuck, you can use the reveal feature to show you a part of the puzzle that you haven’t yet guessed. Reveal allows you to show a letter, word, or the whole puzzle.

Last is the pencil feature. The pencil is built for those times in which you’re not sure if a letter or word properly fits. You’ll be able to insert a letter into any cell without it being recognized as having been completed. So you can test out words as you go. When you use the pencil feature, letters will appear as gray instead of black on the puzzle, so you can know which letters and words you’ve entered using the feature.

Speaking of pencils, perhaps you prefer to fill out the puzzle on a good old-fashioned piece of paper. That’s what the print button on the top right of the screen is for. When you press print, you’ll be able to choose where you want the clues and what you want to be printed if you’ve already entered letters and words.

How is the Daily Crossword score calculated?

Your score for the Daily Crossword depends on a number of different factors. For starters, there’s the puzzle score, which is equal to the percentage of the puzzle that you completed without help times 100. “Help” is defined as any part of the puzzle that was filled using the reveal and check buttons. So if you want the maximum score, you should avoid using those features.

You’ll also get a time bonus, though the bonus that you get depends on the type of puzzle that you’re completing. For example, the bonus for a Two Minute Mini Daily Crossword is 120 minus the number of seconds you took, times 10. The bonus for the Sunday crossword is 2,700 minus the number of seconds you took, times 10.

Lastly, you’ll get a bonus if you complete the puzzle on the Daily Puzzle Date. For example, if the Daily Puzzle Date is the 2nd of October, and you complete it on the 2nd of October, you’ll get a 50-point daily bonus.

But while you’ll get a score for an individual puzzle, you’ll also get a total score for the month. Your total score is basically the sum of all the daily scores you’ve finished within a month, and it’s added to a leaderboard as you go.

Daily Crossword tips

If you’re looking to get the highest score you possibly can, there are a number of tips to keep in mind.

For starters, it’s probably a good idea to start with clues that you find easy. This will allow you to fill in as much of the puzzle as possible, which could give you additional hints as to what the other words may be. It’s also a good idea to focus on shorter words before anything else, which, again, will help you fill in letters that will be used in longer words down the line.

Often, the Daily Crossword will have a theme to it. You could get hints as to what the theme of the puzzle is using the puzzle’s title, and if there is a theme, keep it in mind as you guess words, as the words will connect to the theme.

Don’t be afraid to guess words as well. Sometimes, you won’t definitively know what a word is, but that’s why the pencil feature is there. Use the pencil feature to guess words as you go, as it could help you fill in letters that will give you more hints about other words.

Where Lines May Be Drawn in the Sand

Damon Gulczynski wants to make sure you’re paying attention.

By Deb Amlen

Jump to: Today’s Theme | Tricky Clues

THURSDAY PUZZLE — Verbal communication is a funny thing. I might say something to someone and assume the person heard me correctly, both in words and intent. Successful communication, however, does not happen as often as we would like.

Damon Gulczynski’s puzzle isn’t difficult, but it may be easier to solve if you really focus on what he’s saying in the clues. I needed to repeat them to myself a few times before I understood what was going on. At some point, you may even slap your forehead, saying, “Ohh, that’s what he meant,” followed by, “You know what? That’s pretty clever.”

Today’s Theme

Eggcorns are words or phrases that are misheard or misinterpreted. If the misinterpretation occurs in a musical lyric, it is called a mondegreen . (Think “There’s a bathroom on the right” instead of “There’s a bad moon on the rise” in “ Bad Moon Rising ” by Creedence Clearwater Revival.)

Mr. Gulczynski has written some crafty theme clues that contain eggcorns, and, once you understand what he means, the answers will make much more sense.

I can tell you, for example, and with apologies to the French, that Americans don’t think of the EIFFEL TOWER as a [Rod-shaped parasite]. We might, however, refer to it as a “Paris sight” or “site” (both are appropriate here).

‘A maintenance shop with a broken doorbell is an example of it’ NYT Mini Crossword clue answer and hints

Do you find contradictory things everywhere around you? Like taking a trip to McDonald’s, then realizing you have a stomach ache as soon as you get there? I do, and it pains me to admit that some things in life are beautifully scripted. Today’s NYT Mini Crossword clue dives deep into these moments.

‘A maintenance shop with a broken doorbell is an example of it’ NYT Aug. 19 Mini Crossword hints and answer

• Hint 1: When you say something but mean something else. 
• Hint 2: This five-letter word is often confused with sarcasm, though they’re not exactly the same.
• Hint 3: It starts with the letter “I.”
• Hint 4: It sounds similar to the name of a place called Ivory Coast.

You exhausted the limit of your daily hints. It’s time to show the answer. 

Did you already guess it? The answer to two down in the Aug. 19 New York Times Mini Crossword is “IRONY.” When a maintenance shop has a broken doorbell, it’s ironic that they repair things for their customers but neglect their store’s essentials. Personally, that’d be a red flag for me before entering the shop. 

It’s similar to a fire station being on fire. Thus, an example of these contradictory sentences would fall under irony , which is a figure of speech.

The word “irony” comes from the ancient Greek theater, where a character named “ eiron “ used clever understatements to outsmart others. 

‘A maintenance shop with a broken doorbell is an example of it’ NYT Mini Crossword difficulty rating

While reading the clue, if your mind went “That’s a good irony,” then the answer must’ve been staring at your face. However, unlike other Crossword clues, this one was quite straightforward and easy to guess. So, difficulty-wise, I’d give it a two out of five . 

NYT Mini Crossword (Aug. 19) answers

Are you stuck with the other clues in today’s NYT Mini Crossword? Here are some hints and answers to “ Number of Olympic gold medals won by Katie Ledecky ,” “ What four quarters can equal ,” “Opera solo” “ Spa room ,” and “ Kind of short haircut for women .”

Amd boosts gpu server design capabilities with zt systems acquisition.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, delivers the opening keynote speech at Computex 2024 in Taiwan on June 3, 2024. ... [+] (Photo by I-HWA CHENG/AFP via Getty Images)

Today, AMD announced it is acquiring ZT Systems , a leading hyperscale systems design and ODM house for GPU rack systems. I want to thank AMD CEO Lisa Su for her time yesterday to break the deal down for me.

Details Of AMD’s Acquisition Of ZT Systems

• AMD acquires ZT’s rack-scale systems design and manufacturing assets for $4.9 billion in cash (75%) and stock (25%). This is additive to the $1 billion AMD already invested in ZT over the past year.
• The design focus will be on Instinct AI GPUs, EPYC CPUs and AMD/partner networking.
• AMD will spin out and sell ZT’s manufacturing assets, keeping the systems design capabilities.
• ZT CEO and founder Frank Zhang leads the manufacturing business (to be sold), while ZT President Doug Huang leads design and customer enablement, reporting into Forrest Norrod, the head of AMD’s Data Center Solutions Business Group.
• The deal has been approved by the AMD board and is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. It is expected to be accretive for AMD on a non-GAAP basis by the end of 2025.

ZT Systems adds to AMD’s technical expertise across multiple design areas.

ZT Systems Background

• Designs, integrates, manufactures and deploys rack-level, hyperscale AI systems
• Rumored to drive $10 billion in annual revenue, with AWS and Azure as its largest customers
• Approximately 1,000 design and customer headcount and 1,000 manufacturing headcount
• Private company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey
• History: 1994 desktop PCs and pedestal servers; 2004 focus shifts to datacenter servers; 2010 rack-scale design and integration; 2013 hyperscaler play; 2024 ships “hundreds of thousands of servers annually”

Netflix’s Best New Movie Arrives With A Perfect 100% Critic Score

Trump reposts ai-generated images claiming taylor swift fans support him, microsoft issues mandatory 2fa login deadline alert, how acquiring zt positions amd for big growth in datacenter ai.

The growth in AMD’s Instinct GPUs has been impressive—from $0 in the first half of 2023 to a $4.5 billion 2024 forecast—driven by big investments and effort in hardware and software. However, compared to AMD's own market forecast for AI accelerators and GPUs of $400 billion by 2027, the company needs some accelerants to help it grow parabolically and take what I call its “unfair” share.

Although this has been improving, AMD currently has two main competitive disadvantages in AI infrastructure: its software and its system scale and maturity. AMD already addresses this well for non-AI EPYC servers and PCs, but not so much for AI racks. AMD could build the capabilities on its own organically, but how much time would that take?

AMD has already executed three small software tuck-in acquisitions ( Silo AI , Nod.ai and Mipsology ) to help it with mid- and high-level software abstractions and to help customers to customize LLMs. It has also made major strides with ROCm AI optimizations and PyTorch and Hugging Face support for both Instinct and EPYC. I expect the company will make more software acquisitions in the future.

How AMD sees ZT Systems’ technology fitting into its AI datacenter offerings.

While AMD could not have a $4.5 billion annual forecast for Instinct if it was lacking in systems capabilities, what it already has is not enough to get its unfair share of the $400 billion market that’s coming. The AI infrastructure game is not just a chip game; it has become a more vertically oriented system and software game. “Chip” vendors are expected to deliver the full rack and software stacks to achieve year-on-year improvements to performance, efficiency, quality and time-to-market. And the ZT acquisition is targeted at accelerating AMD’s “above the chip” and “below software” capabilities for AI servers.

I believe this acquisition, if executed with Lisa Su’s typical precision, will be an accelerant the company needs to drive parabolic revenue growth for both Instinct and head-node EPYC with the hyperscalers, tier-two CSPs and even some of the largest on-prem facilities for government agencies and financial, energy and pharma enterprises.

A Short Path To Engineering Integration

I’m also bullish about the culture fit between the two organizations. When I talked with her about the deal, Su emphasized the long relationship between AMD and ZT. “Our team has been working with them for many years,” she said. “They did some of our first EPYC designs and MI 250 designs with us, and they've been fully engaged on MI 300 designs. And so we've gotten to know them very well.”

That alignment extends to customers, too. Su talked about how focused Frank Zhang has been on the datacenter and cloud market over the past 15-plus years. This means that, rather than going broad, ZT has targeted relatively few—very important—companies to sell to. And while Su couldn’t share any customer names, given that ZT is a private company, she did point out that “Every one of their customers is our customer.” So, although it always takes work to integrate engineering teams from one company into another, I think it bodes well that everyone involved is going to be serving the same customers they have been all along.

Staying Out Of The Systems Manufacturing Business

Meanwhile, I like the decision to (eventually) jettison ZT’s manufacturing, sales and support, as these functions would be highly dilutive. For comparison, Supermicro’s net margins are in the mid-single digits while AMD’s are 25%. Related to this, Su told me that AMD would not enter the systems business as Nvidia has with DGX. I am mixed on this as DGX provides Nvidia with significant revenue and margin and gives it a vehicle to sell the total solution. For sure, hyperscalers and tier-one OEMs would not want AMD to get into the systems business, but AMD needs to get something for not competing with its customers. Doing so does not seem to be hurting Nvidia much.

Su believes that customers value choice and bespoke solutions, instead of an approach that dictates building data centers around a predetermined combination of CPU, GPU and networking in a certain form factor. Su says that, with this deal, AMD is going to flip that thinking around. “We're going to say, ‘You know what, I’d love for you to take my CPU and GPU and our open networking standard, but, actually, I’m going to design the system around you. So tell me what you want your data center to look like.’”

There is another competitive wrinkle here. ZT Systems designs, manufactures and deploys Nvidia systems—including for AWS and Azure, if the rumors are true. In that context, it is unclear exactly what the ZT acquisition means from a design standpoint for AMD’s prime datacenter AI merchant chip competitors, Nvidia and Intel. Once the deal is closed, I would expect all design activities for Nvidia and Intel to cease. AMD says that manufacturing for the competitive systems will continue, which makes sense assuming that the manufacturing group is indeed spun out and sold.

While some may understandably criticize AMD in some areas, pinpoint execution has become the hallmark of Su’s tenure. Precision execution is exactly what is needed to turn this investment into gold for the company by increasing revenue and taking market share. Compared to AMD’s Xilinx acquisition of a few years ago, this one looks simple. This deal further reinforces the lead that AMD and Nvidia have built on the rest of the pack for AI chips. I believe this acquisition will be positive for the company and enable it to take much more of that projected $400 billion datacenter AI market in 2027.
