For example, ''Cause for a head-slap?'' (BONER). In the above clue for R AND R, it means ''This clue is tricky! Be careful!'' It can also indicate that the answer only loosely fits the clue. Afterward lots of solvers called and wrote me saying that they couldn't find the word RANDR in their dictionaries, and where did I get it? I had to inform them gently that the answer was three words, R AND R, as in the time when one goes on leave.Ī question mark at the end of a clue can mean several things. One answer that always seems to trip solvers up is R-A-N-D-R, which was clued as ''Leave time?'' when it first appeared in a Times puzzle several years ago. The New York Times crossword has not printed hints like ''2 wds.'' and ''3 wds.'' since the early 1950's, so be on your toes for multiword answers. Similarly, ''Life sentences'' could be obit, ''Inside shot'' is x-ray and my all-time favorite clue, ''It turns into a different story'' (15 letters), results in the phrase SPIRAL STAIRCASE. The clue ''Present time'' might suggest nowadays, but in a different sense it might lead to the answer yuletide. Mental flexibility is a great asset in solving crosswords. And if nothing seems to cross the answer you have filled in, be very wary. Don't assume that because you have a few crossing letters that your answer is necessarily correct. For the clue ''Butcher's offering,'' I once watched a solver successively guess T-BONE, CHUCK and STEAK before finally hitting upon the correct answer, SHANK. At the same time don't be afraid to erase an answer that isn't working out. Once you have a few crossing letters in the longer answers, you'll be more likely to get them from their clues.ĭon't be afraid to guess. Watch for the celebrity names (UMA, ARTE, ENO, AGEE) and geographical names (ADA, AMES, ELON, ORONO) that crop up with unusual frequency. This is especially so for vowel-heavy words like ALEE, IOTA, EEL, AGO, OREO, etc. Focus in the early stages on the three-, four-, and five-letter words, because the English language has relatively few of these, and the same ones tend to repeat a lot in puzzles. The fill-in-the-blank clues are easy to spot and often the easiest to solve. Step 1 in solving any crossword is to begin with the answers you're surest of and build from there. The Sunday Times puzzle, while larger than its weekday counterpart, averages only Thursday-plus in difficulty. I advise new solvers to begin on Monday and see how far through the week they can go. (He said this as a compliment.) The goal is to have something for everyone. This is why, as editor, I vary the weekday Times crossword difficulty from easy-medium on Monday up to what the actor and puzzle aficionado Paul Sorvino calls ''the bitch mother of all crosswords'' on Saturday. The perfect level of difficulty, of course, differs from person to person. Ideally, though, in the end the solver should triumph and think, Oh, how clever I am! It may, in fact, seem impossible at first. A perfect puzzle may put up lots of resistance.
But unlike most battles, both sides here have the same goal - for the solver to win. 1.A crossword puzzle is a battle between the puzzle maker and editor on one side and the solver on the other.
