Midi tips for tomorrow
- Fill the gimmes first. Scan every clue once and fill in anything you know instantly, especially fill-in-the-blank clues. Those letters unlock the crossings.
- Read the theme title. The theme name often points straight at the longest answers. Try them early, even with only a couple of letters in place.
- Match tense and number. A clue in the past tense has a past-tense answer; a plural clue has a plural answer. “Took to court” means the answer likely ends in -ED.
