How to solve a crossword
Fill the white squares so every numbered clue reads across or down.
The method
- 1Read the clue and its number. Each number in the grid starts an answer going across or down. Find the clue with that number and direction.
- 2Count the squares. The run of white squares after the number tells you how many letters the answer has.
- 3Write the answers you are sure of first. Start with the clues you know. Each answer you fill hands letters to the clues that cross it.
- 4Use the crossing letters. A shared letter from an answer you have placed narrows a crossing clue, often to a single word.
- The one rule
- Every white square belongs to an across answer and a down answer, and the two must agree on their shared letter.
- What the answer page shows
- The completed grid is printed at the back.
- How the grades differ
- Easier puzzles use common words and plain clues; harder ones use trickier wording and longer answers.
- Good for
- Word lovers, from a gentle themed puzzle to a classic challenge.
