Continue until you've solved all nested clues

The final solution reveals the complete answer to the puzzle

Strategy Tips

Start with the innermost brackets and work outward

Use progressive hints if you get stuck on a clue

Pay attention to wordplay, puns, and double meanings

Consider how solved clues might relate to unsolved ones
