General solving tips
Tip 1
Start with the shortest words because they have the fewest possible fills.
Tip 2
Use crossing letters aggressively; one known letter can collapse a clue.
Tip 3
Read the clue literally before trying wordplay or alternate meanings.
Tip 4
Check tense, plurality, and part of speech before committing a guess.
Tip 5
When stuck, step away from the clue and scan the whole grid again.
