HOW TO PLAY

A crossword is a word puzzle that usually

takes the form of a square or a rectangular
grid of white- and black-shaded squares.

The game's goal is to fill the white squares

with letters, forming words or phrases, by
solving clues, which lead to the answers.

In languages that are written left-to-right,

the answer words and phrases are placed
in the grid from left to right ("Across") and
from top to bottom ("Down").

The shaded squares are used to separate

the words or phrases.
