Strategies

• Easy clues first. Fill the clues you are sure of; their digits help with harder crossing clues.
• Count the cells. The number of cells tells you how many digits the answer has — a quick check on your working.
• Use crossings to check. If a crossing digit doesn't fit, one of the two answers is wrong.

Common mistakes

• Writing a decimal point or a unit in a cell — only digits go in the grid.
