Any day now is a common crossword clue that usually resolves to words meaning “soon” or “in the near future.” Here are the most frequent solutions you’ll encounter, along with typical clue angles: Direct answers
- SOON — the most common 4-letter answer for “Any day now.”
- ANON — archaic/poetic form meaning “soon.”
- BEFORELONG — a 10-letter option conveying “in the near future.”
- IN THE NEAR FUTURE — a 15-letter variant often clued by “Any day now” in longer puzzles.
Common variant angles
- “in the near future” or “presently” for longer entries.
- “before long” as a 9-letter to 10-letter fit depending on grid.
- “presently” as a 9-letter option in some British-style clues.
Tips to pinpoint the right answer
- Length matters: check the puzzle’s required letter count first.
- Crosses: see if other filled letters force a particular option (e.g., if you have _OON, SOON is likely; if you have _NAN, ANON is plausible).
- Thematic flavor: some clues use poetic or formal language; expect ANON or INTHENEARFUTURE in those cases.
If you share the exact letter pattern and puzzle size (e.g., 4 letters, 9 letters, 15 letters), I can suggest the most likely fit and explain why.
