@ponderclub: I try to use easy words to intersect the more difficult words, so even if you didn’t get HUME you would be able to use the down words to solve it. . Another strategy I use is when there is a word that does not cross another word “M” in IMING here, I try to clue the word in such a way that it’s obvious. For ex: the clue uses “Chatting” which means the word is also going to end in “-ing” . That also means I need to check my gauge of what is “difficult” and what is “easy” . #crosswords #crosswordtok #wordgames
