About the USA Today Rootonym

Rootonym is USA Today's daily word-root puzzle. Each day you get four words that share Latin or Greek roots: the puzzle shows a masked word, its definition, and a fill-in-the-blank sentence, and you reconstruct the full word from its root. It's a vocabulary builder as much as a puzzle — every answer teaches you what the root means. This page collects the complete, verified answer set for each daily puzzle.

How to use this archive

Every date above links to a full answer page listing all four root words. From there, tap View Answers on any word to open its own page — showing the answer, its root, the root's meaning, and an example sentence. Each word page also links back to the rest of that day's puzzle.

Updated daily

New solutions are added automatically as each puzzle goes live, so you'll always find today's answers here first. Also check our USA Today Crossword answers.
