Tips for solving

• 1Start with the fill-in-the-blank and short (3-letter) clues — they're usually the fastest points and hand you crossing letters for everything else.
• 2Work outward from your most confident answer instead of top-to-bottom; in a Mini, one solid entry unlocks four or five neighbors.
• 3If a clue ends in a question mark, expect wordplay or a pun rather than a literal definition.
• 4Plural clues almost always mean the answer ends in S — pencil that last letter in early.
• 5When two answers seem possible, let the crossing clue break the tie rather than guessing.
