A crossword puzzle is a word game consisting of a grid of black and white squares. The goal is to fill the white squares with letters by solving clues that correspond to specific words, which are arranged horizontally (across) and vertically (down). Each clue hints at a word that fits into the matching numbered grid space, with each letter of the word intersecting with other words. The challenge is to figure out the correct word based on the clues and fit them into the grid so that they all interlock properly. It’s a fun test of vocabulary, general knowledge, and problem-solving.
