Tips for Solving Crosswords

• Start with the easy ones: Fill in the fill-in-the-blank clues first; they are usually the easiest to spot.
• Check the tense: If the clue is in the past tense, the answer usually is too (e.g., "Walked" -> "TROD").
• Look for plurals: If the clue implies a plural answer, it likely ends in 'S'.
• Identify proper nouns: Clues that indicate names or places are often good starting points.
