Crossword Master Puzzle 1,505 sits in Puzzles 1501-1600 and holds 18 clues, the longest answer being ACREAGE at 7 letters. That is a substantial board, enough that checking off what you already have is faster than re-reading the whole list.

This is a clue game, so the useful thing on this page is the clue text itself. If you are stuck on one line, find that exact wording in the table below rather than reading a bare list of answers — clues identify a puzzle far more reliably than answers do, because answers repeat across a game and clues rarely do.

8 of the 18 answers run to three letters or fewer, which is where levels like this are usually lost. The long answers go in quickly; it is the short ones filling the gaps between them that get missed, because they are easy to read straight past.

This puzzle sits in the 1,501–1,600 block, with puzzle 1,504 and puzzle 1,506 linked at the foot of the page.

How to play

How Crossword Master Works

The same three moves solve most Crossword Master puzzles, including this one.

1

Find the exact clue

Match the wording rather than guessing from the answer list. The clue is what pins down which line you are on.

2

Work the crossings

A long answer with two crossing letters usually has only one candidate. Fill intersections before hunting definitions.

3

Check the enumeration

Every answer here carries its letter count, which separates two clues that read alike.

Crossword Master Tips & Strategy

Starting with what this particular puzzle teaches you.

1

This chain has 18 links

Fill the answers you are sure of first — each confirmed link constrains its neighbours far more than the clue alone.

2

Longest answer is ACREAGE

At 7 letters it is the most constrained slot on the level, which usually makes it the easiest to place.

3

Clues identify, answers do not

The same answer turns up in many crosswords. The clue wording is what tells you which puzzle and which line you are looking at.

4

Long answers are the way in

More squares means more crossings and fewer possible words. Start at the longest empty slot, not the shortest.

5

Read the tense and number

A plural clue wants a plural answer, and a past-tense clue wants a past-tense one. A single letter is the usual reason a good guess fails.

6

Abbreviation markers matter

A clue that abbreviates usually wants an abbreviated answer. It is a reliable signal once you start noticing it.
