The most important piece of advice is practice. Max Deutsch took a month to master the New York Times crossword puzzle on Saturday, and it took a consistent practice, about 46 hours in total. He used a lot of memorization with correspondence courses, crossword puzzles and hint pairs, and completed a large number of puzzles. Practice is a huge piece of the puzzle, but not the only piece, because more difficult puzzles like cryptic crossword puzzles require divergent and flexible thinking. Hey, everybody! @LMSGreat Pic! I knew it was you. I`ve seen this before. This must have been an off-time picture, as you would probably seem more confused at work! I first got CLAUDE MONET, but after receiving the OneUP Revealer. I had lox for EEL, which confused me a little. When I saw that MONET was ending at N (I had MOn instead of MOT), I also saw the INLET ET, so I thought the ONE UP was a diagonal line up. It confused me royally for the other Themers.

Closed NW/SE were not optimal, but sometimes you don`t have a practical option, as you make the grid to fit comfortably into the sea. Ideally, Tracy (I`m sure she tried) could have moved the black square after 58A from a row up and got rid of the black square after 55A, which allowed those corners to open up a bit more, but then it probably ran into an impossible prank because the themers were near those squares. My two cents. (two senses?) Is crab soup she anything? That sounds sexist. Har! Two F`sCLAUDE MOTRooMonsterV People love to do puzzles of all kinds, but cryptic crossword puzzles are often seen as a difficult form of entertainment – joy can be rare that is new in enigmatic! This Cheat Sheet tackles the basics of how to start on a cryptic crossword puzzle, and you`ll also find some lists of references and practical explanations for detecting certain warning devices. Fifty years ago, Maleska made honey in Italian. Well, it would have been in my helmsman! I`m cheating so I don`t have blood pressure as high as Rex. I was done and I got the error message. I wrote ONE like a rebus.
I checked the answer key and saw that there was only one O.
