Tips for Level 8

Try crossings first. Even one confirmed letter often reveals the rest of the entry without spoiling anything.
Watch for short fills. Play-off Minis packs lean on 3–5 letter answers — common crossword “classics” show up here often.
Use answers as flashcards. When you reveal one, take five seconds to understand why it fits the clue — you’ll need fewer reveals next time.
