What Makes Medium Crosswords Different?
Medium crosswords are based on Wednesday and Thursday newspaper puzzles. They feature more varied vocabulary, and clues that occasionally use wordplay or misdirection. They are the sweet spot between a relaxing solve and a true brain workout — if you can finish easy puzzles without hints, medium is your next step.
Tips for Medium Difficulty
- Look for theme entries — medium puzzles often connect their longest answers
- Watch for question marks in clues; they signal puns or wordplay
- Work the corners independently if you get stuck in the center
