Crosswords
are letter games (and thus a form of mind sport). Modern crosswords
take the form of a square grid of black and white squares; the aim
is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words reading
across and down, by solving clues which yield the words. The black
squares (commonly called 'blanks') have no letters, and are used
to separate words (all contiguous blocks of white squares spell
words). Squares in which words begin are numbered, left to right,
top to bottom. The clues are then referred to by these numbers (ambiguities
are resolved by the common practice of referring to clues by both
number and direction - for example, "1 Across" or "17
Down"); at the end of the clue the total number of letters
is given for the convenience of the solver. In almost all cases,
the grid is rotationally symmetric.
