The term CROSSWORD FEATURES can be broken down into two crossword solutions, GRIDS (5 letters). GRIDS are the boxes that make up a crossword puzzle. They are arranged in a grid-like pattern and contain clues for each word or phrase that must be filled in. The grids are usually symmetrical, with black and white squares, and the clues are written in a specific order. Crosswords are a popular form of entertainment and can be found in newspapers, magazines, and online.
