• Use the grid to each game to plot your guesses.


• You are also given a list of words.


• To solve the puzzle correctly, simply fit all the words into the grid.


• Generally, these words are listed by amount of letters, and alphabetically.


• Some times a starter word is entered into the grid for you.

1. Solving a Fill-In typically amounts to searching for words of a certain length with letters in specific places.

2. If a starter word is given in the grid, it is often useful to use it as the beginning search point.

3. Raw "trial and error" : ( used when there are only two or three words that can potentially fit at a given location; )

(a)temporarily assume one of the words, and
(b)see if an impossible letter combination results.( If so drop that word from consideration.)
(c)Using a pencil- temporarily add a possible word in the grid.


4. Repeat Step 3.

**NOTE**
(i) Smaller words may be easier to fit in the grid, but longer words give more clues to connecting words.
(ii) Care must be given to marking out words that are not explicitly placed in the grid; this occurs when one fills in a vertical sequence of horizontal words, or vice versa. Forgetting to do this results in "extra words" and often makes the puzzle more difficult to solve.
