Tips & Strategy

  • Begin with short answers (3-4 letters). They have fewer possibilities and fill in crossing letters quickly.
  • Learn common crossword fill words: ERA, ORE, ATE, IRE. These appear in most NYT puzzles.
  • If stuck on an Across clue, try solving the Down clues that cross it. Shared letters narrow your options.
  • The Midi takes 3-10 minutes. Clues are straightforward compared to the full Crossword.
