If you try too hard, the obvious can seem unintelligible. When you return to the puzzle, note how quickly some answers occur to you. • Step 5: Check for anagrams • Check for anagrams in clues. Anagrams show up through descriptive terms or names that must be rearranged to divine the intended answer. • Step 6: Use the puzzle theme • Use words associated with the title of the puzzle. • Tip • Work with a friend – sometimes two heads are better than one when solving a crossword puzzle. • Step 7: Fill in the rest • Continue filling in answers, moving left to right and top to bottom. • Step 8: Practice and get better • Practice crosswords to get better. The more puzzles you do, the more familiar you'll be with standard puzzle clues and answers. • Did You Know? • People who work on crossword puzzles more than four times a week may be less likely to get Alzheimer’s disease.
