The answer to the New York Times crossword clue "Lightheaded sorts?" from the September 24, 2025 puzzle is "BLONDES" (7 letters). The clue plays on the stereotype that blondes are "lightheaded" or not very serious, using wordplay typical of crossword puzzles.

Earlier versions of the clue in different puzzles have had answers like "MOTHS" (a different interpretation of "light-headed" as having light heads or wings) or "BLONDS," but for the most recent NYT puzzle, "BLONDES" is the correct answer.
