Step-by-Step Guide to Playing Sky High Crossword
Follow these steps to play your Sky High Crossword ticket:
-
Identify Your Letters
Begin by scratching off the "YOUR 18 LETTERS" box and the "BONUS" box. Carefully note down all the letters revealed in these sections. These are the only letters you can use to play the crossword puzzle.
-
Scratch the Puzzle Grid
Move to the "PUZZLE" grids. For each letter in the puzzle grid that matches one of the letters you revealed in your "YOUR 18 LETTERS" or "BONUS" box, scratch it off.
- Example: If you have an 'A' in "YOUR 18 LETTERS," scratch off every 'A' in the puzzle grids.
-
Utilize "BIRD" Symbols
Locate the "BIRD" symbols within each "PUZZLE" grid. Each of these four "BIRD" symbols in a puzzle is a free match. This means they count as a matched letter in any word they are part of, even if you don't have the corresponding letter in your "YOUR 18 LETTERS" or "BONUS" box. Make sure to scratch off each "BIRD" symbol.
-
Form Words
As you scratch off matching letters and "BIRD" symbols, observe the words forming horizontally and vertically within the puzzle grid. The goal is to complete entire words by scratching off all the letters within them.
-
Check for Winning Patterns
Once you've scratched all possible matches, count how many complete words you have formed in the puzzle grid. Most crossword scratch-off games have a prize legend that outlines the winning tiers based on the number of completed words. For example, completing three words might win one prize, while completing ten words might win a higher prize.
Tips for Playing
- Be Thorough: Double-check your "YOUR 18 LETTERS" and "BONUS" letters against the entire puzzle grid to ensure you don't miss any matches.
- Prioritize "BIRD" Symbols: Always scratch your "BIRD" symbols first, as they are guaranteed matches and can help complete words quickly.
- Cross-Reference: Pay close attention to letters that appear in multiple words (both horizontally and vertically), as scratching one letter can help complete multiple words.
