Tips for Mini Crossword

01

Solve your most confident clue first. Its letters become starting information for every crossing word.

Pay attention to a clue’s part of speech: an action usually calls for a verb, while a person or object calls for a noun.

03

If two answers disagree at their intersection, revisit both clues before committing to a spelling.
