Crostic Level 528 sits in New Year and holds 8 clues, the longest answer being FIRECRACKER at 11 letters. The letters from those answers spell a hidden phrase of 6 words, which is printed in full at the top of this page.
The phrase and the clues solve each other. Every answer you place drops letters into the phrase, and once enough are down the phrase is usually guessable outright, at which point it hands you the remaining answers in reverse. That is why both halves are published here rather than just the answer list: if you are stuck on one clue, reading the phrase is very often the faster way in.
The note beside each answer below is the clue as the game words it, not a letter count, because that is what identifies a level. Answers repeat across a game this size; clue wordings almost never do, so if you recognise one line you have found your level.
This level sits in the 501-600 block, with level 527 and level 529 linked at the foot of the page.

How Crostic Works
The same three moves solve most puzzles, including this one.
Answer the clues you are sure of
Each confirmed answer drops letters into the hidden phrase, which is where the real progress comes from.
Read the phrase early
Once a few letters are placed, try reading the phrase outright. Guessing it usually solves the remaining clues backwards.
Use the letter counts
Every answer states its length, so a candidate of the wrong size is ruled out before it costs you anything.
Crostic Tips & Strategy
Starting with what this particular puzzle teaches you.
This level has 8 clues
Every clue is listed below with its answer and letter count. Find the exact line you are stuck on rather than reading the whole set.
The phrase runs to 35 letters
Those letters all come from the answers above it, so a phrase you can half-read confirms the clues that feed it and vice versa.
Easy clues are worth as much as hard ones
Every answer feeds letters into the phrase regardless of how hard it was, so take the free ones first.
Guess the phrase, then work backwards
The hidden phrase is often readable from a handful of letters, and knowing it turns the remaining clues into fill-in-the-blanks.
Check the letter count
Each clue states the length of its answer, which alone rules out most wrong candidates.
Commit to the short answers
Three and four letter answers are the most constrained, so they are the safest letters to place into the phrase first.
