While one may be related to a recent event, another may just be a trivia. It is another practice that you can follow i.e. reflecting on the different subjects that a 5×5 grid touches.

A smart tactic that you can follow while solving a mini crossword puzzle is targeting all the down or across columns first. Either way, you will end up filling in a few letters in the other column category and your task thereafter will become a little easier.
