About CodyCross Daily Crossword

Every clue and answer for the CodyCross daily crossword released on January 8, 2026 is listed on this page. CodyCross runs two daily crosswords — a Small Crossword with around ten clues and a longer Midsize Crossword — and we publish the full solution set for both as soon as the puzzles go live. This page is part of our complete CodyCross daily archive, which is updated every day as new puzzles release.

The CodyCross daily crossword is separate from the game's main themed worlds. Instead of a single picture-based board, the daily puzzles use a classic crossword grid where every solved word shares letters with the words crossing it. That overlap is the key to solving the harder clues: even one confirmed answer hands you letters that narrow down everything around it.

If you are looking for a specific day, the daily archive goes back several years and every date has its own page like this one. You can also jump to the most recent puzzles from the Recent Daily Crosswords list below, or use the clue search at the top of the page to find a single answer in seconds without scrolling the full grid.

Tips for Daily Crosswords

Use the clue search first. If you have the exact clue text from your game, the search box above returns the matching answer in seconds, so you do not have to scan the whole grid by hand.

Cross-check with crossing letters. CodyCross uses a real connected crossword grid, so letters from solved clues appear inside the unsolved ones — filling the easy clues first often reveals enough letters to crack the hard ones.

Try the shorter answers first. Short words are easier to guess and each one you confirm drops letters into the longer intersecting clues, which is usually the fastest way to unlock a stubborn corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the CodyCross daily crossword updated?

A new CodyCross daily crossword is released every day, and this archive adds the latest puzzle within hours of its release. Each date gets its own permanent page, so you can always come back to a specific day's answers later.

How far back does the CodyCross daily archive go?

The archive includes CodyCross daily crossword answers from March 2023 through today. Every day in that range has its own page with the full Small and Midsize solution set, so older puzzles stay available for reference.

Are CodyCross daily crosswords the same in every language?

The daily crossword grid is generally the same puzzle across languages, but the clue wording is localized, and a clue may show in English when local data is not yet available for your language. The answers themselves usually match because they follow the same grid.

Can I solve old CodyCross daily crosswords in the game?

Inside the app CodyCross usually only lets you play the current day's daily puzzle. This archive exists so you can still look up the answers for any past date, even once the game has moved on to a newer puzzle.

What is the difference between the Small and Midsize crosswords?

The Small Crossword is the shorter of the two daily puzzles, with roughly ten clues, while the Midsize Crossword is larger and tends to mix in tougher general-knowledge and pop-culture clues. Both are released on the same day and both are solved in full on this page.

Why can I not find a clue on this page?

Clue wording can vary slightly between app versions and updates, so try the clue search with just a distinctive word or two rather than the full sentence. If it still does not appear, the puzzle for that date may be under a different day — check the date at the top of the page against the date in your game.

Do I need an account to see CodyCross daily answers?

No. Every CodyCross daily crossword answer on this site is free to read with no account, login or payment. You can browse today's puzzle and the entire archive without signing up for anything.
