What are your tips for solving crossword puzzles?
Crosswords are by nature a solitary activity. Do you have any special tricks or tools you use to solve them? For example, I helped create a New York Times crossword puzzle feature that incorporates search tools to conquer crossword puzzles (http://games.yahoo.com/search/nyt ). How do you approach solving a crossword puzzle?

When I start a crossword I first go through all the clues and answer the ones that I know right off the bat. Then comes in the thinking. I look on the puzzle board and the ones with the most letters I study that one to see if I can come up with it. If not I move to the next one. One good tip is that when I have been doing it for what seems like awhile and getting nowhere I set it down and rest my brain and come back to it later.
