Persona 5 Royal Crossword Solutions

Crosswords are just one of several significantly changed mechanics that Persona 5 Royal adds a to the Persona 5 experience, another ofm the many new systems and moments meant to flesh out your time when you're not dungeon crawling. While not new in P5R, they've been adjusted in such a way that the Crossword Puzzles have gone from an activity to avoid to a must-complete to make the most of the game.

In general, Persona 5 Royal Crosswords are the same as those in vanilla Persona 5, though how you access them has been tweaked slightly. Long story short, the content of the crosswords is identical across both versions of Persona 5, which means that this guide is suitable for both those who are playing the vanilla game as well as the Royal version.

This is a relatively straightforward guide - these are just crossword answers after all, so single-word solutions - but we have broken this page into two different sections: one offering the dates the Persona 5 Royal Crosswords are first available to attempt, and one list that features all of the crossword solutions and answers. Here goes:

• Crossword Puzzle Answers

Why you should complete Persona 5 Royal's Crossword Puzzles

The Persona 5 Royal Crossword Puzzles are particularly important because it's one key way you can improve one of your social stats, Knowledge. Knowledge, an important stat as it will affect your scores on School Exams and is also a social stat needed to pursue relationships with the Priestess Confidant, Star Confidant, and Justice Confidant. In Persona 5 Royal, an easy way to consistently boost your Knowledge stat is to fill out the crossword puzzle found at Café Leblanc - as long as you know where and when to look.

Crossword puzzles were also present in the original Persona 5, but in that game, they were not an especially efficient use of time as there were better ways to raise your Knowledge stat. However, in Persona 5 Royal, crossword puzzles do not take time to complete. This means crosswords are basically free Knowledge points just sitting there for you, ready for you to grab as long as you finish the crosswords the nights they are available.

If you solve 15 of the Persona 5 Royal crossword puzzles, you'll also get the Word Wizard award in the Thieves Den. Crosswords are otherwise not directly tied to any PlayStation trophies, or achievements on the Xbox, Windows, or Steam versions of the game.

And that's it! If you're working through Persona 5 Royal, don't forget to consult our Confident Guide and Gift Guide to level up those relationships, and our page on how to get the canon true ending, too - it's missable!
