Crossword puzzles are drawn puzzles that are usually in the shape of a square 或者 rectangle. The puzzle is filled with black and white squares. The goal of a crossword puzzle is to fill the white boxes with the 答案 to a series of questions. Most crosswords include numbers in the white squares so the player can match each 问题 with a specific answer location. The shaded squares are used to separate the answers. The 答案 that go into the white boxes are written across and down, with separate clues for each direction. The 答案 will interlock with one another, so correctly answering one 问题 will give 你 one 或者 更多 letters that makeup part of a different answer. Once 你 have correctly completed all of the answers, 你 have "beaten" the puzzle. Some crossword puzzles are quite difficult and completing them is an achievement 你 can be proud of! If 你 become a crossword master, 你 can even start working on The link Puzzle, which is fiendishly difficult.
