        No 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.

          I 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.
