• Start with short answers - 3-letter words often have fewer possibilities
• Use crossings early - in a 5x5 every answer intersects multiple others
• Think concisely - mini clues often use compact phrasing and abbreviations
• Aim for speed - these puzzles are designed to be completed in 1-3 minutes
