Beat Today’s Netflix Puzzled: Complete Daily Solutions for December 5, 2025

Netflix Puzzled drops ten fresh brain-benders every day, each flexing a different problem‑solving skill—and if today’s set has you stumped, our complete solutions will get you unstuck. Then keep the streak going with our roundup of the 10 best daily puzzle games online.

Netflix quietly spun up a daily brain gym inside the app, and if today’s Puzzled lineup stalled you out, I’ve got you. Here are the clean, no-fuss solutions for December 5, 2025, puzzle by puzzle, with just enough context so you know why the answers make sense.

Bonza: Make ___

The theme is phrases that start with the word 'make'. Connect the fragments to land on these words:

Across: OVER, SENSE, AMENDS

Down: OUT, PEACE, BELIEVE, MISTAKES

Put together, you get the usual suspects: make over, make sense, make amends, make out, make peace, make believe, make mistakes.

Jigsaw: The Quiet Forest

Today’s image keeps the winter vibe going: a calm, snowy woodland scene with two foxes. It’s all muted whites and browns with those two reddish focal points. If you were fighting the background, focus on the fox coats and the darker tree lines.

Crossover

Swap your tiles to finish the grid with these:

Better late ___ never: THAN; Roll call reply: HERE; Build, as a skyscraper: ERECT; Return to a topic for discussion: ⭕BACK; Philippa, performer of 'Helpless' and 'Burn' in 'Hamilton': SOO.

Sudoku

Three 9x9s today:

Easy: 'Boxes' — Medium: 'Circle and Wheel' — Hard: 'Question Marks'. Standard rules across the board: each row, column, and 3x3 box uses 1–9 exactly once. If a placement feels off, retrace the singles and box-line interactions; the solved boards confirm every number.

Starstruck

Rules refresher: place stars so each row, column, and colored region has exactly one star, with no diagonal touching.

Easy ('Eye'): Row 1, Column 2; Row 2, Column 5; Row 3, Column 3; Row 4, Column 8; Row 5, Column 5; Row 6, Column 7; Row 7, Column 1; Row 8, Column 6.

Hard ('135'): Row 1, Column 9; Row 2, Column 7; Row 3, Column 1; Row 4, Column 5; Row 5, Column 3; Row 6, Column 8; Row 7, Column 6; Row 8, Column 4; Row 9, Column 2.

Waywords: Rappers

Theme is 'Rappers' (and no, Eminem didn’t make the cut). Follow the path through these stylized entries:

BU⭐HYMES (Busta Rhymes), MISS🗣️IOTT (Missy Elliott), 🧊CUBE (Ice Cube), TUPAC👸LATIFAH (Queen Latifah).

Shapes: Run for It

The silhouette you’re building is an ostrich. And because this one likes trivia: ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand when spooked. That old chestnut basically traces back to Pliny the Elder being, let’s say, not a fan.

Keysmash: Camp Sights

Add the vowels to reveal the set:

Word in horror film titles like 'Knock at the __' and '__ in the Woods': CABIN; It’s got canoes you can use: BOATHOUSE; Place to take a bow? (2 words): ARCHERY RANGE; Things can get heated around it (2 words): FIRE PIT; I’m just here for the zipline (2 words): ROPES COURSE.
