Starting May 22nd, 2025, PressReader will begin offering daily puzzles and brainteasers on its homepage. Through Sarasota County Libraries you will have access to a new set of puzzles everyday, available and playable right from the website with no printing, paper, or pencil required.
Provided by the supplier behind puzzles for The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Guardian and other leading publications, PressReader’s new selection of daily brainteasers include:
-
Codeword
-
Concise Crossword
-
Cryptic Crossword
-

Daily puzzles are currently only available on the web-based version of PressReader, and will only be available in English. There are plans to introduce puzzles to the mobile app version and additional languages for both in the future, but no estimated release window at this time.
