indianan crossword

“Indianan” in a crossword clue almost always points to Hoosier – a person from the U.S. state of Indiana.

What “Indianan” usually means in crosswords

• In American-style crosswords, “Indianan” is a standard way of saying “someone from Indiana,” whose common nickname is Hoosier.

• You might see clues like:
  • “Indianan” (6) → HOOSIER
  • “Indianan, informally” → HOOSIER

If your pattern doesn’t fit “HOOSIER”

Check the letters you already have:

• H O O S I E R → 7 letters (often clued as “Indianan” or “Indiana resident”).

• If the grid wants 8 letters, sometimes “INDIANAN” itself is used as an answer, but that’s much less common and often only if forced by the grid.

So if your clue is just “Indianan” or “Indianan, say,” and the length is 7, the answer is almost certainly HOOSIER.
