3 Tips for the 2017 Crossword Archive
Work a month at a time
This year holds 72 crossword boards. The clue style stays consistent within a month, so solving a run of consecutive dates trains you far faster than jumping around the calendar.
The theme carries the long answers
Every board is built around one idea, and the themed entries are almost always the longest slots. Spot what the long answers have in common and the short fills follow from the crossings.
Both board sizes run daily
Daily Themed Crossword publishes a full-size and a mini board every day. The mini archive covers the other one, and the themed packs are the fixed boards that never rotate.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify the 2017 archive
Every board in this year is stored from the day it ran, clue wording verbatim and answers length-checked against their slots. Dates are checked for continuity, so a missing day shows as a gap rather than passing unnoticed.

How to Solve a Daily Themed Crossword
How the daily and mini grids are built, and the order that solves them.
Read the theme before the clues
Daily Themed Crossword builds every puzzle around one idea, and the long entries almost always belong to it. Knowing the theme turns those from cold clues into a guessing game with a very short list.
Fill the short crossings first
Three and four letter answers use the most predictable vocabulary in the whole grid. Each one you place hands letters to the long clues for free, which is a better use of the first minute than staring at the hardest entry.
Abbreviations are signposted
A clue ending in "Abbr." or containing its own abbreviation is telling you the answer is short and clipped. The same goes for "Hyph." and "2 wds." — the clue format is half the answer.
