➤Save Your Best for Last
The value of correct matches increases for each category that you play in the CrossWire Round (see “Scoring in the CrossWire Round” for more detail). So it is a good idea to save your best category for last.
Remember, you only have to play three of the four categories, so you can skip the most difficult one.
