How the November 21, 2018 Grid Breaks Down
This is the Daily Themed Crossword main puzzle for November 21, 2018, a Wednesday. It contains 63 clues, which is a little below the usual size for a daily grid. The longest answer is DONALDGLOVER at 12 letters; the shortest is 3.
Watch the clue wording on this one: 3 clues are flagged "Abbr.", meaning the answer is shortened rather than spelled out, and 3 clues carry a "wds." flag, so the answer runs several words together with no spaces. Those markers are reliable in this game and are the quickest way to fix a letter count before you commit to an entry.
Neighbouring dates are linked above, and the 2018 archive holds every daily puzzle from that year. There is also a mini crossword for November 21, 2018 with 10 clues. Away from the calendar, the game's 202 themed packs hold another 58,679 clues.

3 Tips for the November 21, 2018 Crossword
The theme is a clue in itself
Daily Themed Crossword builds each board around one idea, and the themed entries are usually the longest answers on the grid. This board carries 63 clues with answers from 3 to 12 letters — work out what the long ones have in common and the rest of the grid opens up around them.
Short fills are where the crossings come from
Three- and four-letter answers are the cheapest squares on the board and they feed letters into every long entry they touch. When a themed answer will not come, fill the short ones around it first rather than staring at the clue.
There is a mini board for this date too
Daily Themed Crossword runs two boards a day. The mini crossword for November 21, 2018 is on its own page, and the two share a theme more often than not — solving one gives you a head start on the other.

How to Solve a Daily Themed Crossword
How the daily and mini grids are built, and the order that solves them.
Read the theme before the clues
Daily Themed Crossword builds every puzzle around one idea, and the long entries almost always belong to it. Knowing the theme turns those from cold clues into a guessing game with a very short list.
Fill the short crossings first
Three and four letter answers use the most predictable vocabulary in the whole grid. Each one you place hands letters to the long clues for free, which is a better use of the first minute than staring at the hardest entry.
Abbreviations are signposted
A clue ending in "Abbr." or containing its own abbreviation is telling you the answer is short and clipped. The same goes for "Hyph." and "2 wds." — the clue format is half the answer.
