Entwerd (Vyvlander pronunciation: /entweɾd/, English: [the] Answer), formerly known as Lyksdal Entwerd, is a daily national newspaper which circulates in Vyvland. The paper is one of the 'big three' broadsheet newspapers in Vyvland, along with Fe Bysbereer and de Kronikel. Entwerd's circulation is behind that of both of these papers, although the newspaper maintains a significant online and multimedia presence, ensuring a degree of international popularity. The paper's editor has been Anke Koyler since 2002. The paper has a strong tradition for investigative journalism in Vyvland and internationally; its journalistic team is the largest of any Vyvlander newspaper.

Entwerd was first published in 1874 in Lyksdal, where it primarily covered local news. Lyksdal's growth was coupled with that of the paper, which began to expand over the entire country by the 1920s. It has always maintained a left-of-centre political stance, and generally supports the Socialist Party. However, at the 2009 general election, Entwerd switched its support to the Liberal Party. In 2013, Entwerd's average daily circulation was 144,000 copies. This figure is substantially higher for the Saturday edition of the paper, known as the Entwerd Wikent, whose readership rarely drops below 200,000.
