Record Stacks & Notable Fifteens in the Modern Era

Constructors often look for grid-spanning 15-letter entries. This page collects the most extreme examples.

Of the 9,706 Modern Era daily puzzles in this database, 3,950 (40.7%) have one or more grid-spanning entries.

339 (3.5%) include at least one stack of some kind, and 241 (2.5%) have at least one triple or larger stack.

Quintuple stack

This is a feat few believed possible until one of the final puzzles of 2012 proved otherwise.
