minus-squaresteal_your_face@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·11 months agoAnyone know what the circles mean when they’re like this in a crossword?
minus-squareDept@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up8·11 months agomeans it’s part of a clue. in this case it’s 6 above’s clue which is “Approximate shape of this puzzle’s white squares… and a synonym of the circled letters”
minus-squaresteal_your_face@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·11 months agoOh ok thanks. When I did this puzzle I finished it before the vertical clues so I never saw that I guess.
minus-squareDept@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 months agoNo problem. If you want another tip: when a clue ends in a question mark, perhaps, or maybe it means that the answer or clue is a pun.
minus-squareNeato@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoI play the Sunday as a group and my God. Crosswords have some of the most bullshit rules. You can put multiple letters on a single square? Reebus. You can also have an answer that’s a whole phrase instead of a word.
minus-squareDept@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-211 months agoYEAH i hate rebuses. I did almost a puzzle daily last year and have only gotten 1 rebus without help.
