6th/7th Grade Vocabulary crossword puzzle with clues for words like "song," "technology of flight," and "leadership."

Let's solve this 6th/7th Grade Vocabulary Crossword Puzzle step by step. I'll use the clues provided to deduce the correct answers and fill in the grid.

---

Clues:

#### Across
- [5] practice session → rehearsal
- [6] to catch → capture
- [7] drums → drumming (but likely just drums — but that’s 5 letters; maybe percussion? Wait, let's see length)
- [11] calculation using a special symbolic notation → mathematics or algebra?
- [12] art of recounting → narrative
- [13] individual lots → portions
- [16] practice sermon based on scripture → homily

#### Down
- [1] song → tune, ballad, melody — probably song itself? But likely tune or verse.
- [2] technology of flight → aerodynamics? Or aviation?
- [3] leadership → authority, command, guidance — but likely leadership is too long. Maybe lead?
- [4] capable of spreading disease → contagious
- [8] breaking a treaty or law → breach
- [9] barrier → fence, wall, obstacle — perhaps barrier itself?
- [10] great height → altitude
- [13] 2nd year student → sophomore
- [14] under → beneath
- [15] landscape → scenery

Now, let’s analyze the crossword structure and possible word lengths.

We’ll need to determine the number of letters for each clue based on the grid. Since we don’t have the image, we can only infer from typical crossword conventions and clue wording.

But since you said "I uploaded an image", but I can't view images, I will assume standard crossword formats and use logical deduction.

Let’s try to reconstruct:

---

Let’s go clue by clue and think about likely answers with plausible letter counts.

---

Step-by-step Deduction

#### Across Clues

[5] practice session
→ Common synonym: rehearsal (9 letters)
Or session (7), but “practice session” implies rehearsal.
Likely: rehearsal

[6] to catch
→ catch, capture, seize, snatch
“to catch” is a verb. Could be catch (5), capture (7), grasp (5), etc.
But if it intersects with other words, length matters.

[7] drums
→ Likely drums (5 letters), or percussion (10), but probably short.
Possibly drum (4)? But clue says "drums" — plural.
Wait — could be drumming (8)? Unlikely.
Most likely: drums (5)

[11] calculation using a special symbolic notation
→ This is clearly algebra (6 letters), or arithmetic (10), or calculation (11).
But “symbolic notation” → algebra fits perfectly.
Also mathematics, but longer.
Likely: algebra (6 letters)

[12] art of recounting
→ narrative (9 letters) — yes, “art of telling stories” = narrative
Also storytelling (12), but longer.
So: narrative

[13] individual lots
→ portions, shares, allotments
“lots” suggests portions (8 letters) or shares (6)
But “individual lots” → portions seems best

[16] practice sermon based on scripture
→ homily (6 letters) — yes, a homily is a sermon based on scripture
Perfect fit.

---

#### Down Clues

[1] song
→ tune, melody, verse, ballad
Tune is 4 letters, melody 7, verse 5
But likely tune or song — but “song” is 4 letters?

Wait: “song” as a clue — answer might be tune or verse

But possibly song itself? Unlikely — crossword answers are usually synonyms.

[2] technology of flight
→ aviation (8 letters), aeronautics (11), flight tech?
Best: aviation

[3] leadership
→ lead, guide, command, authority
But likely leader or lead — but “leadership” is a noun.
Perhaps authority (9), command (7), or leadership itself? Too long.
Maybe lead (4) — but not matching.

Wait — perhaps leadership is the answer? But unlikely.

Better: command (7), or guidance (8)

But consider lead (4) — maybe?

Wait — let’s look at intersections.

[4] capable of spreading disease
→ contagious (10 letters) — very common word
Yes, contagious

[8] breaking a treaty or law
→ breach (6 letters) — perfect
violation (9), but breach is shorter and fits well

[9] barrier
→ fence, wall, block, obstacle
But “barrier” → barrier itself? No, usually synonym.
Likely fence (5), wall (4), obstacle (8), or hurdle (7)

[10] great height
→ altitude (8 letters) — yes
Also elevation, but altitude is more precise

[13] 2nd year student
→ sophomore (9 letters) — definitely

[14] under
→ beneath, below, underneath
But “under” → likely beneath (7) or below (5)

[15] landscape
→ scenery (7 letters), view, terrain, scene
Best: scenery

---

Now, let’s try to build around known answers.

Let’s assume:

- [16] Across: "practice sermon based on scripture" → homily (6 letters)
- So the 6-letter word at [16] across is homily

Then:
- [14] Down: “under” → must intersect with homily
- Homily has 'h', 'o', 'm', 'i', 'l', 'y'
- So [14] down starts with 'h'? No — unless it’s a different direction.

Wait — let’s think about positions.

Since I don’t have the visual grid, I need to make assumptions.

But let’s suppose the grid has standard numbering.

Let’s try to find overlapping clues.

---

Let’s try to assign some definite answers:

Definite Answers

1. [16] Across: homily → 6 letters
2. [13] Down: sophomore → 9 letters → likely a long vertical word
3. [10] Down: altitude → 8 letters
4. [4] Down: contagious → 10 letters
5. [8] Down: breach → 6 letters
6. [15] Down: scenery → 7 letters
7. [14] Down: beneath → 7 letters? Or below?
8. [1] Down: tune or verse? Let’s say tune (4)
9. [2] Down: aviation (8)
10. [3] Down: leadership? Too long. Maybe lead? But not fitting.

Wait — perhaps [3] Down is authority (9 letters) — matches with [13] Down being sophomore?

But let’s try to align.

Alternatively, let’s assume:

- [13] Down: sophomore → 9 letters → so column 13 has 9 boxes
- That means the vertical word starting at [13] is 9 letters long.

Similarly, [4] Down: contagious → 10 letters → so column 4 has 10 boxes.

So we can deduce that:

- Column 4 has 10 squares → contagious (10 letters) fits
- Column 13 has 9 squares → sophomore (9 letters) fits

Now, [16] Across is likely in row 16, 6 letters → homily

So homily is across, 6 letters.

It may intersect with [14] Down — “under”

If homily is across, then the first letter is H, second O, etc.

If [14] Down is “under”, and it goes through homily, then the letter at position 14-down must be H, O, M, I, L, Y depending on where it crosses.

But “under” is 5 letters — so likely below or beneath

Suppose [14] Down is beneath (7 letters)

Then it would cross homily — if homily is in row 16, and beneath is down from there, then the crossing letter is 'h' (from homily) and 'b' from beneath? No — doesn't match.

Unless the crossing is at the 2nd letter of homily ('o') and the 1st of beneath — no.

Alternatively, perhaps [14] Down is under → 5 letters → U-N-D-E-R

But if it crosses homily, then one of the letters in homily must be U, N, D, E, R

Homily: H-O-M-I-L-Y → no U, N, D, E, R → none match

So under cannot cross homily directly.

Therefore, [14] Down cannot be under if it intersects homily.

So maybe [14] Down is beneath → B-E-N-E-A-T-H → 7 letters

Now, check if any letter in homily matches: H is last letter — so if beneath ends with H, and homily ends with Y, no.

Homily ends with Y, beneath ends with H → conflict.

So beneath cannot end at same spot.

Wait — maybe [14] Down is below → B-E-L-O-W → 5 letters

Then 'L' is in homily? Homily has 'L' as 5th letter.

So if [14] Down is below, and it crosses homily at the 5th letter, which is 'L', then the 5th letter of below is 'W' — no.

Below: B-E-L-O-W → 5th is W

Homily: H-O-M-I-L-Y → 5th is L

So if they cross at position 5, then both should have same letter — but L ≠ W → conflict.

No match.

What word for “under” has ‘L’ in it? Like underneath? Too long.

Wait — perhaps [14] Down is beneath, and it crosses homily at the 2nd letter?

Homily: H-O-M-I-L-Y

Beneath: B-E-N-E-A-T-H

No common letters except possibly 'E' — but not in same position.

This is tricky.

Alternative idea: perhaps [14] Down is under — but not intersecting homily.

Maybe homily is not at the end.

Let’s try another approach.

---

Let’s look at [11] Across: “calculation using a special symbolic notation” → algebra (6 letters)

Very strong clue.

So [11] Across = algebra

Then [12] Across: “art of recounting” → narrative (9 letters)

[13] Across: “individual lots” → portions (8 letters) or shares (6)

But “individual lots” — portions is good.

[5] Across: “practice session” → rehearsal (9 letters)

[6] Across: “to catch” → capture (7 letters)

[7] Across: “drums” → drums (5 letters)

[16] Across: “practice sermon based on scripture” → homily (6 letters)

Now, let’s list all across answers:

- [5]: rehearsal (9)
- [6]: capture (7)
- [7]: drums (5)
- [11]: algebra (6)
- [12]: narrative (9)
- [13]: portions (8)
- [16]: homily (6)

Now down clues:

- [1]: song → tune (4), melody (7), verse (5)
- [2]: technology of flight → aviation (8)
- [3]: leadership → command (7), lead (4), authority (9)
- [4]: contagious (10)
- [8]: breach (6)
- [9]: barrier → fence (5), wall (4), obstacle (8)
- [10]: altitude (8)
- [13]: sophomore (9)
- [14]: under → beneath (7), below (5)
- [15]: landscape → scenery (7)

Now, let’s try to place [4] Down: contagious (10 letters)

So column 4 has 10 squares.

It must intersect with across words.

For example, if [6] Across is “capture” (7 letters), and it’s in row 6, then it might intersect with [4] down at column 4.

So if “capture” is across, and column 4 is part of it, then the 4th letter of “capture” is 'p'

So contagious has 10 letters — so its 4th letter is 'g' (C-O-N-T-A-G-I-O-U-S → 4th is A)

Contagious: C(1)-O(2)-N(3)-T(4)-A(5)-G(6)-I(7)-O(8)-U(9)-S(10)

So 4th letter is T

But if it intersects with “capture” at column 4, then the 4th letter of capture is 'p' (C-A-P-T-U-R-E) → 4th is T

So T = T → OK!

So if [6] Across is “capture”, and [4] Down is “contagious”, and they cross at column 4, row 6, then both have 'T' at that point.

Perfect.

So:
- [6] Across: capture (7 letters)
- [4] Down: contagious (10 letters)
- They cross at position where 4th letter of capture is T, and 4th letter of contagious is T → matches

So this works.

Now, [5] Across: “practice session” → rehearsal (9 letters)

Rehearsal: R-E-H-E-A-R-S-A-L → 9 letters

It likely starts at [5], and may intersect with [4] down.

[4] down is contagious, which has 10 letters.

So if rehearsal is across, and column 4 is part of it, then the 4th letter of rehearsal is 'H' (R-E-H-E-A-R-S-A-L → 4th is E)

Contagious at row 5: what is the 5th letter of contagious? A (C-O-N-T-A-G-I-O-U-S → 5th is A)

So if rehearsal is in row 5, and column 4 is 'E' (from rehearsal), but contagious has 'A' at row 5, column 4 → conflict.

So unless rehearsal is not in row 5, or column 4 is not the 4th letter.

Wait — perhaps the grid has different indexing.

Maybe [5] Across is not in row 5.

But typically, numbers indicate position.

Assume [5] Across is in row 5.

Then [5] Across: rehearsal (9 letters) → R E H E A R S A L

Column 4 of this word is the 4th letter: E

But [4] Down: contagious — row 5, column 4 is the 5th letter of contagious → A

So E ≠ A → conflict.

So rehearsal cannot be in the same row as [4] down at column 4.

So perhaps [5] Across is elsewhere.

Maybe [5] Across is not intersecting [4] down.

Let’s try to place [13] Down: sophomore (9 letters)

So column 13 has 9 squares.

It might intersect with [13] Across: “individual lots” → portions (8 letters)

So if [13] Across is “portions” (8 letters), and [13] Down is “sophomore” (9 letters), they might cross at the same row.

So at row 13, column 13, the letter must be the same.

Portions: P-O-R-T-I-O-N-S → 8 letters

Sophomore: S-O-P-H-O-M-O-R-E → 9 letters

So if they cross at column 13, row 13, then the letter is the last letter of portions (S) and the first letter of sophomore (S) — S = S → OK!

So if [13] Across is “portions”, and [13] Down is “sophomore”, and they cross at the end of portions and start of sophomore, then:

- Portions: ... - S
- Sophomore: S - ...

So the intersection is S.

Perfect.

So:
- [13] Across: portions
- [13] Down: sophomore

Now, [14] Down: “under” → likely beneath or below

But “under” is a clue, so answer is synonym.

Let’s say beneath (7 letters)

[15] Down: “landscape” → scenery (7 letters)

[10] Down: “great height” → altitude (8 letters)

[8] Down: “breaking a treaty or law” → breach (6 letters)

[9] Down: “barrier” → fence (5), wall (4), or obstacle (8)

[2] Down: “technology of flight” → aviation (8 letters)

[1] Down: “song” → tune (4), verse (5), melody (7)

[3] Down: “leadership” → command (7), authority (9), lead (4)

Now, let’s try to place [11] Across: algebra (6 letters)

And [12] Across: narrative (9 letters)

[7] Across: drums (5 letters)

[16] Across: homily (6 letters)

Now, let’s assume the grid has these positions.

But without the image, the best way is to provide the most likely answers.

Final Answer List

After logical deduction and common vocabulary:

#### Across
- [5] rehearsal
- [6] capture
- [7] drums
- [11] algebra
- [12] narrative
- [13] portions
- [16] homily

#### Down
- [1] tune (or verse, melody) → likely tune
- [2] aviation
- [3] command (or leadership, but likely command)
- [4] contagious
- [8] breach
- [9] fence (or wall, obstacle) → likely fence
- [10] altitude
- [13] sophomore
- [14] beneath
- [15] scenery

But let’s verify one more thing.

[1] Down: “song” → if it’s 4 letters, then tune is best.

[3] Down: “leadership” → if it’s 7 letters, command fits.

[9] Down: “barrier” → fence (5 letters) or wall (4)

But if [9] Down is 5 letters, fence is good.

[14] Down: “under” → beneath (7 letters) is better than below (5)

[15] Down: “landscape” → scenery (7 letters)

Now, check if homily (6 letters) can fit.

Homily: H-O-M-I-L-Y

If it’s [16] Across, and it intersects with [14] Down: beneath

If [14] Down is beneath, and it crosses homily at the 5th letter, which is 'L', then the 5th letter of beneath is 'A' — no.

Beneath: B-E-N-E-A-T-H → 5th is A

Homily: H-O-M-I-L-Y → 5th is L → no

But if they cross at the 6th letter:

Homily: 6th is Y

Beneath: 6th is T → no

No match.

But if [14] Down is below (5 letters): B-E-L-O-W

Crosses homily at 5th letter: homily has L, below has O → no

Or at 2nd letter: homily has O, below has E → no

No match.

What if [14] Down is under (5 letters): U-N-D-E-R

Homily: H-O-M-I-L-Y

No common letters.

Wait — perhaps [14] Down is beneath, and it doesn’t cross homily.

Maybe homily is in a row where it doesn’t intersect [14] down.

Alternatively, [14] Down is under, and the answer is under — but then it must have a letter in common.

But homily has no U, N, D, E, R.

So perhaps [14] Down is beneath, and the intersection is not with homily.

Maybe the puzzle allows it.

Given the constraints, here is the most probable solution:
