How to Solve This Crossword
A grid with 0 Across and 0 Down clues rewards a specific kind of patience. Try this approach:
Solve the shortest answers first. Three- and four-letter answers have far fewer possibilities than long ones, and they tend to cross a lot of other entries — good return on effort.
Say the clue out loud. Puzzle clues are often written to sound almost conversational; reading them aloud can surface the intended answer faster than reading silently.
Circle back after a full pass. Once you've been through every clue once, go through again — newly filled crossing letters will unlock several you skipped the first time.
There are 0 clues in all here — a second full pass after your first usually clears out most of what's left. More in our complete crossword-solving guide.
