How to Play Teka-Teki Silang (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Get the Puzzle Ready

  • Clues are given in two directions: Mendatar (Across) and Menurun (Down).

Step 2: Read the Clues

  • Start with the easier or shorter clues to build momentum.

  • Each clue corresponds to a numbered space on the grid.

Step 3: Fill in the Answers

  • Write your answer letter-by-letter in the white squares that match the clue.

  • Be mindful: each correct word will help you solve intersecting clues.

Step 4: Use Cross-Checks

  • Use the letters from completed words to help guess tougher clues that intersect.

Step 5: Keep Going

  • Continue until all the white squares are filled with correct, connecting words.

  • No need to rush—take your time and enjoy the process.

Step 6: Check for Accuracy

  • Review your answers. Do the words make sense both across and down? If not, revise as needed.
