Solve missing letters crossword clues
How to find the missing letters in a word? Underscores in a crossword clue represent the missing letters of a word. Filling the blanks with letters will give you the crossword answer. Sometimes the clue is straightforward and the answer is the word itself. Other times you need to think more creatively and form a new word from only the missing letters. Crosswords can be tricky to solve, but that is also the reason why they are so much fun.
