About this puzzle

How the August 30, 2019 Grid Breaks Down

This is the Daily Themed Crossword main puzzle for August 30, 2019, a Friday. It contains 62 clues, which is a little below the usual size for a daily grid. The longest answer is WRINKLEINTIME at 13 letters; the shortest is 3.

Watch the clue wording on this one: 5 clues are flagged "Abbr.", meaning the answer is shortened rather than spelled out, and 5 clues carry a "wds." flag, so the answer runs several words together with no spaces.

3 Tips for the August 30, 2019 Crossword

01

The theme is a clue in itself

Daily Themed Crossword builds each board around one idea, and the themed entries are usually the longest answers on the grid. This board carries 62 clues with answers from 3 to 13 letters — work out what the long ones have in common and the rest of the grid opens up around them.

02

Short fills are where the crossings come from

Three- and four-letter answers are the cheapest squares on the board and they feed letters into every long entry they touch. When a themed answer will not come, fill the short ones around it first rather than staring at the clue.

03

There is a mini board for this date too

Daily Themed Crossword runs two boards a day. The mini crossword for August 30, 2019 is on its own page, and the two share a theme more often than not — solving one gives you a head start on the other.

How to play

How to Solve a Daily Themed Crossword

How the daily and mini grids are built, and the order that solves them.

STEP 01

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.

STEP 02

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.

STEP 03

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.
