A Better Way to Tackle the WSJ Crossword

When a WSJ Crossword feels difficult, knowing more facts isn’t always the answer. Good solving often comes down to recognizing patterns and using the information already sitting in the grid. Start with the clues you feel confident about, then use those letters to work through the less familiar entries.

It’s also worth reading the clue carefully before committing to an answer. Pay attention to wording, punctuation, tense, and whether the clue appears to be asking for a phrase, abbreviation, name, or something more playful. If you’re completely stuck, stepping away from a clue and returning to it later can be surprisingly effective.
