Start with direct definitions and words you recognize. A clue such as “Animal that meows” can give CAT, with three letters. Use its crossing letters to complete other answers.

What to check

If two synonyms seem possible, count cells and compare known letters. Do not add or remove letters to force a word to fit. Check whether the clue calls for a singular or plural form.

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.
