Here is my solving strategy so far:
- Find and solve an easier clue. (Generally, this means clues with less words, since every word in a good cryptic carries its own information payload, so long clues can have protein-fold levels of twisty complexity.)
- Try to cravenly backsolve everything that crosses it. Then backsolve anything that crosses those, etc.
- Go to step 1.
Well, it's something.
