NYT Crossword answers: Wednesday September 10th 2025
Done figuring it all out for yourself? Here’s the full completed NYT Crossword showing all the answers for today’s puzzle:
And there it is! The NYT Crossword for September 10th in all of its glory. The hardest riddles in this puzzle were those in italics, particularly the Heinz Ketchup one.

That’s all for today’s puzzle, but if you like to keep your brain active with more of NYT’s puzzles, you can also check out our guides on the Wordle hint and answer for Wednesday 10th September and our Connections hint for Wednesday 10th September.
