An idea for your next attempt
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
How to proceed
- Choose a numbered Across or Down clue to highlight its answer.
- Select a square and type a letter, or use the on-screen alphabet.
- Shared letters belong to both crossing answers. Selecting a shared square twice changes direction.
- Use Check entries to review entered letters. Reveal selected supplies one letter and counts as help.
- Complete every open square to solve the puzzle. Dark squares are not filled.
Choosing and moving on screen
Select a clue or square. Use your physical keyboard or the on-screen letters, Erase, Check entries and Reveal selected. Scroll within the board on a narrow screen. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
An example to follow
For the clue “A book of blank or lined pages for writing”, the answer is NOTEBOOK. It occupies 8 squares, and each crossing uses the same letter. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
Notice this detail
Do not fill dark squares. A letter that fits one answer must also fit the crossing clue. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
