Start with short answers and obvious clue matches, then use crossing letters to unlock harder prompts.

Why it fits
Better Crossword solves start with the right constraints
Use feedback carefully
Check after a meaningful set of entries so feedback helps the solve instead of turning every move into a guess.
Reset with intent
Reset is useful after a teaching round, a group discussion, or a solve path that needs a clean second attempt.
Workflow
How to approach a Hecate Crossword
Collect easy wins
Find the obvious Crossword entries first so the board gives you more information.
Build from intersections
Use confirmed letters, repeated codes, word lengths, or found targets to narrow the remaining choices.
Check the board
Validate a batch of guesses, then revise the uncertain entries before revealing or resetting.
