Solving Strategies
- Start with the obvious: Look for clues you're confident about and fill those in first. This gives you letters for intersecting words.
- Focus on short words: 3-4 letter words are often easier to solve and provide helpful crossing letters.
- Look for common endings: Words ending in -ING, -ED, -ER, -LY are frequent in crosswords.
- Consider multiple meanings: Crossword clues often use wordplay, puns, or double meanings.
- Use intersecting letters: Even one or two known letters can significantly narrow down the possibilities.
