    Tips for crossword clues

    Count the squares first: the pattern must be exactly as long as the answer. Use ? or _ for each empty square. The answers come from ENABLE, Collins/SOWPODS and NWL2023, sorted so everyday words come first, which is usually what a crossword setter picked.

    For a clue with a known number of letters but no crossings yet, the word lists by length are quicker to scan.

    Questions people ask

    What should I type for an empty square?
    A question mark or an underscore. C?A?E and C_A_E both work.
    Why is the answer I expected missing?
    Phrases, names and abbreviations are not in game dictionaries, so they will not appear.
