Persona 5 Royal gives you a handful of activities you can complete to raise certain stats without actually spending time. One of those is the crossword puzzle you’ll occasionally find sitting on one of the tables in Leblanc Cafe. Some of the questions and answers depend on your knowledge of Japanese culture, while others are as inscrutable as normal crosswords, which is why we’ve put together this Persona 5 Royal crossword puzzles and answers guide.
Persona 5 Royal Crossword Puzzles
If you answer the question highlighted in blue, you’ll get a Knowledge point (the other answers don’t matter). Since higher knowledge is helpful for exams and vital for certain Confidants like Makoto and Akechi, it’s definitely worth your while.
Each puzzle becomes available on a certain date, but it doesn’t matter when you finish them. You won’t miss out if you wait until the next time.
Also, you’ll get at least one chance per week to do the puzzle, which you can find on the far table in Leblanc near the staircase. If there happens to be a customer at the time, talk to them until they leave so you can do the puzzle.
Finally, if you start the Fortune Confidant with Chihaya Mifune in Shinjuku, you can use the Luck reading (pick Knowledge) to get bonus stat points after finishing the puzzle.
