Thats why I always sucked at crosswords.Because the answer cant get recognized 100% correct without revealing some letters.
I googled that question it for an answer and there are 4 words that might be correct or not.You cant know which one is true unless you reveal at least 1 letter of it (I dont want to spoiler
)
Sometimes 3 or more letters can be very familliar on a crossword and it pisses you of later on when you realize that you wrote a wrong word...
But the number crosswords has always 1 correct answer unless there is another way to solve by coincdence.Thats also why it is very easy compared to word crosswords
