Clues, numbers and crossings
Each number marks the start of an answer. Check whether the clue runs across or down and count its cells before writing. A shared letter must fit both crossing words, so write an uncertain answer lightly in pencil.
Check the form of the answer
Check singular or plural and letter count as well as meaning. Follow the activity’s convention for spaces, accents and other marks. When an answer will not fit, check its crossings too: the difficult clue may not be where the mistake began.
