About this puzzle’s date
This answer list is for the Wednesday, March 5, 2025 puzzle, not a puzzle from another year. Parade’s answer guide, published March 5, 2025, gives the complete clue and answer list. Its hint section phrases the last clue as “How nervous travelers arrive at the airport”; the answer section says “How nervous people arrive at the airport.” Both point to EARLY. Parade’s guide is a secondary source; an official NYT archive confirmation was not established.
