Many crossword puzzles use black-and-white boxes to show people where to write the words. They are usually set up in a grid, with 15 squares by 15 squares. This is called a blocked grid. In a typical puzzle, the clues provided are often definitions of the words. If the clues for the crossword puzzle are word puzzles themselves, it is a cryptic crossword. It can take a long time for players to figure out the answers to these challenging crossword puzzles.
许多填字游戏使用黑白方框来告诉人们该在哪里写字。它们通常排列成十五乘十五的方形网格。这称为阻塞式网格。在典型的谜题中，所提供的线索通常是单字的定义。如果填字游戏的线索本身是谜语，那么它就是一个线索隐晦的填字游戏。玩家可能需要很长时间才能想出这些具有挑战性的填字游戏的答案。
