What is a crossword?
A numbered clue is provided. The solution to that clue should be entered into the numbered grid provided. For example, the solution to 1 Across should be entered into the empty horizontal squares starting with the square numbered 1. (Not all crosswords start with 1). The solution to “Down” clues are entered into vertical empty squares commencing with the square having the same number as the clue. The number in the parenthesis after the clue indicates the length of the solution word or words. For example the solution word “obvious” might have a clue “Easy to understand (7)”. Other types of solution might be two or three words. For example “tip-off” might have the clue “Warning (3-3)” and the solution “prayer beads” could be clued “Rosary (6,5)”. As solutions are found and entered into the grid, completed squares will provide further clues to solutions which share the same squares.
