How to solve the Newsday Crossword

Newsday Crossword tips for tomorrow
- Use the title. Newsday puzzles are titled, and the title nearly always explains the theme entries.
- Know the pseudonyms. Puzzles by "Lester Ruff" are easier; "Anna Stiga" is Stan again, backwards, and tougher.
- Expect the Stumper to be brutal. Saturday clues are deliberately vague. Fill short words first and let crossings carry you.
