Tips for Solving Easy Crosswords

1

Start with Fill-in-the-Blanks

These are usually the easiest clues. Look for clues with blanks like "___ is the capital of Kenya" and fill them in first.

2

Work from Short to Long

Solve 3-4 letter words first. These are typically easier and provide letters for crossing words, making longer answers clearer.

3

Use Crossing Letters

When you fill in one word, use those letters to help solve intersecting words. The crossing letters are huge hints!

4

Don't Get Stuck

If you're unsure about a clue, skip it and move on. Come back later with more crossing letters—it'll be easier!

5

Learn Common Words

Familiarize yourself with basic Swahili greetings (Jambo, Asante, Habari), major cities (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu), and common Kenyan terms.
