All 91 levels in the Year 2022 range — click any level to see every verified answer with letter counts and word breakdown.
Start with the most constrained row or column. Find the clue with the largest number relative to the grid size — these cells are overdetermined and must be partially filled regardless of offset. Lock those cells first.
Use negation — mark cells that cannot be filled. If a clue cannot reach a certain cell under any valid arrangement, mark it empty. Empty confirmations are just as powerful as filled ones for narrowing possibilities.
Cross-check every row clue against its column clues. After placing a cell via a row clue, immediately verify it is consistent with the column clue for that column. Contradictions caught early save significant backtracking.
Solve smaller grids completely before moving on. Each level in this range is independent — completing one fully before starting the next keeps your logic sharp and avoids cross-puzzle confusion.
Verify the answer name matches the pattern. The puzzle answer (e.g. an animal or object name) gives you a semantic check — if your filled grid does not visually suggest the answer name, revisit any uncertain cells.

Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so consecutive levels reuse letter and word patterns. Working straight through a block is measurably faster than jumping between them.
Every answer comes from what the level shows you and nothing else, so counting what you are given rules out most wrong guesses before you make one.
The levels either side of a hard one share its patterns, and they are usually a better hint than anything the game sells you.
The order that clears a block of Monkey Wrench levels fastest.
Blocks are ordered, and the early levels teach the patterns the later ones reuse.
It consumes the awkward letters and leaves the rest of the board far easier to read.
Half-finished blocks lose the momentum that makes the next level quicker.
Every answer in this block is read from the game's own level data rather than retyped, and the per-level counts on this page are computed from that data, so the index cannot drift from what the level pages actually list.
