crucigrams

Crucigrams are a type of word puzzle that combines elements of crosswords and jigsaw puzzles. The term "crucigrams" was coined by the British puzzle designer and author Simon Tatham. The puzzle consists of a grid divided into a series of interlocking shapes, each containing a number of squares. The player must fill in the squares with letters to form words, following the clues provided. The clues are usually given in a separate section, and the player must match the clues to the correct shapes in the grid. Crucigrams can be created for any language, and they can be of varying difficulty levels, depending on the complexity of the shapes and the length of the words. The puzzles can be printed or played digitally, and they can be enjoyed by individuals or groups. Crucigrams are a popular form of word puzzle, offering a challenging and engaging way to test and improve one's vocabulary and problem-solving skills.
