Crossword percentages by women have hovered around 30% for the past six years. Some notable records were set in 2025, though. Saturday crosswords hit a new record at 27%. Fridays also saw a new high, hitting 44%, and Monday puzzles (where women have traditionally done well) set a new record for any weekday: 62%. Women were the least represented on Thursdays. In all, 108 daily crosswords featured at least one woman constructor.
