How Puzzle Page Crossword Works
A standard crossword grid with numbered Across and Down clues. Answers cross, so every letter you place is a free hint for the entry running through it.
Tips for Puzzle Page Crossword
- 1
Start with the fill-in-the-blank clues — they are the least ambiguous and usually the fastest points on the board.
- 2
Work the short answers first. Three- and four-letter entries have few candidates and immediately give crossing letters.
- 3
Watch the tense and number of the clue: a plural clue takes a plural answer, and a past-tense clue almost always ends in -ED.
- 4
If a long answer will not come, fill everything crossing it and read the pattern — the shape usually gives it away.
- 5
Abbreviated clues signal abbreviated answers. 'Dr.' in the clue means the answer is shortened too.
- 6
Fill the short entries first — three and four letter words have few possibilities and each one you place gives a crossing letter to a long answer.

3 Tips for Puzzle Page
The board is the whole puzzle
Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.
Place the longest answer first
Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.
Neighbouring levels are the best hint
Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.
How to Solve a Puzzle Page Level
The order that clears a board fastest.
Read what you are given
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
Anchor with the answers you are sure of
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify these answers
Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
