Yesterday's NYT Crossword Answers (Sep 27): Full Grid

Every clue from the Sun, Sep 27 grid, solved. Answers stay hidden until you tap them.

By: Julien A. | Last update: Sep 27, 2026

Spoiler ahead. This page covers the NYT Crossword for Sun, Sep 27. Every answer sits behind tiles you turn yourself, a letter or a word at a time.

This is yesterday's NYT Crossword from Sun, Sep 27, kept for a day. The hints come first, then the answer, so you can check the grid you played. New to it? Our NYT Crossword game page covers where to play, the modes and our tips.

The NYT Crossword gets harder through the week: Monday is the gentlest, Saturday the toughest, and the larger Sunday grid plays at about midweek strength. Thursday is where the tricks live, such as several letters squeezed into one square or answers that turn a corner.

A question mark at the end of a clue promises wordplay, and a clue written in the past tense wants an answer in the past tense. When a section stalls, leave it and come back through the crossings of a filled area; three or four letters in place usually give the word away.
