Crossword Puzzle Tips and Trivia
Play to your strengths
Focus on clues you know the answers to and build off the letters from there. You may want to focus on small three to five-letter answers for clues you are certain of, so you have a good starting point. Regardless of how many answers you know, having a solid starting point can help you figure out the rest of the puzzle.
What do clues with question marks mean?
Crossword clues that include a question mark generally have an answer that would not be your first guess. Usually, the answer is something a bit more ambiguous, so these can be tricky clues to start with in your grid.
