Crossword Puzzle Tips and Trivia
Pay attention to plurals and tenses
If a clue has a plural noun, the clue will likely be plural as well. Similarly, if a clue is in the past tense (gave, made, etc.), the answer will also be in the past tense. It’s common to get confused if you think you know the answer but it won’t fit in the box. Try adding an “s” to the answer if it’s supposed to be the plural form of the word.
Do crosswords have a theme?
Most American crossword puzzles have a “theme” that connects longer answers. Themes can include famous quotes, rebus themes where multiple letters or symbols occupy a single square or mathematics like addition or subtraction. On a typical 15×15 grid, you can usually expect three to five answers to have some relation to one another.
