→Description: Add Clues and Simple clues sections
Grids are usually square or sometimes rectangular, but sometimes comprise a sparse arrangement where each word intersects only one or a very few other words, and the spaces between answers is simply left blank.

Typically, the first square for each answer includes a small number that corresponds to one of the numbered clues.

== Clues ==
Crosswords normally have one of two types of clues: ''simple'', or ''cryptic''.
In some cases, a crossword might come with both simple and cryptic clues, which may both refer to the same answers, or may be in effect two different crosswords both using the same grid.
=== Simple clues ===
Simple clues are words or short [[phrase]]s, for which the solution might be either a [[synonym]] of the clue (i.e. a word with a similar meaning) or an example of the clue.
For example, if the clue was "[[Harbour]]", the answer might be "port" (a synonym) or "[[Aden]]" (the name of a particular harbour, in this case in [[Yemen]]).
