Playing through the massive game, you’ll soon find Persona 5 Royal contains a series of crossword puzzles, in fact. Throughout the course of the in-game year, you’ll find a book on the table furthest from the entrance door in Leblanc. Interact with the book and you’ll then be prompted to solve a crossword. If you’re successful in figuring it out, you’ll be rewarded with one knowledge point for free, and it’s worth doing because it doesn’t consume any in-game time. This is a great way to earn easy knowledge points in Persona 5 Royal.

Note that when you initiate a crossword puzzle, you only need to solve for the line that’s highlighted in blue. All other words around it serve as hints by letting you whittle down the number of letters you have left to work with or fill certain letter for the line in blue.

With all that said, here are the solutions for the crossword puzzles we’ve found in P5R (note that there may be more we have yet to discover):
