crossword puzzles

Clued letter grids

Crossword puzzles are word games in which solvers fill a grid of white and black squares with letters, working from numbered clues that correspond to horizontal (across) and vertical (down) entries.

The answers intersect, so solving one word provides letters that help solve others.

Crosswords range from simple newspaper puzzles to cryptic British-style versions with wordplay-based clues.

I do the crossword puzzle with my morning coffee.
