Crossword Puzzles for Adults - Best Coloring Pages For Kids - Free Printable

To solve this crossword puzzle, we need to find the words that fit both the "Across" and "Down" clues based on the number of squares available in the grid. Let's break it down clue by clue.

Step 1: Solve the Across Clues

* 1. Talkative person (7 letters): A common word for someone who talks a lot is CHATTER.
* 6. Motorway off-ramp (4 letters): Another word for an exit on a highway is EXIT.
* 10. Cathedral, ... Dame (5 letters): The famous cathedral in Paris is Notre-DAME. So the answer is NOTRE.
* 11. Slanting lines (6 letters): Lines that go diagonally are called OBLIQUE. Wait, that's 7 letters. Let's look at the grid. Grid space for 11 across is 6 boxes? No, looking at the grid, 11 starts at row 3, col 5. It goes right. 11 Across intersects with 4 Down, 5 Down, 6 Down... Let's re-evaluate based on intersections later. Let's try SLOPED? Or DIAGONAL (8 letters). Let's hold on this. Actually, a common crossword answer for "slanting lines" or similar is ITALICS (7 letters) if referring to text, but here it says lines. Let's look at OBLIQUE again. If 11 is 7 letters, it fits. Let's assume OBLIQUE for now.
* 12. Ticketed (7 letters): If you get a ticket for speeding, you are FINED. That's 5 letters. How about SUMMONED? 8 letters. CITED? 5 letters. Let's look at the grid length. 12 Across is in row 4. It looks like 5 letters. FINED fits well.
* 14. Japanese seaweed roll (5 letters): This is definitely SUSHI.
* 16. Pierced with fork (6 letters): When you pierce food with a fork, you SPEAR it. That's 5 letters. Maybe STABBED? 7 letters. PIERCED itself is 7. Let's look at the grid. 16 Across is row 6. It seems to be 5 letters ending before a black square. SPEAR fits.
* 18. Every evening (5 letters): A synonym for every night is NIGHTLY? No, that's 7. EVENING is 7. How about DAILY? No. NIGHTLY doesn't fit "every evening" exactly. Wait, "Every evening" could be NIGHTLY if the grid allows. Let's check 18 Across. It's row 8. It looks like 5 letters. NIGHT? No. EVENS? No. Let's try NITE? No. How about DUSKY? No. Let's reconsider. Maybe it's NIGHTLY and I miscounted the grid. Let's look at 18 Down: "Discredit (reputation)". That's TARNISH (7) or SULLY (5). If 18 Down is SULLY, then 18 Across ends in Y. NIGHTLY ends in Y. Let's assume NIGHTLY for 18 Across (7 letters) and SULLY for 18 Down? No, 18 Down is "Discredit". TARNISH is good. SMIRCH? BESMIRCH? Let's look at 18 Across again. "Every evening". NIGHTLY is an adverb. Is there a better word? EVE? No. Let's hold.
* *Correction*: A very common crossword answer for "Every evening" is NIGHTLY. Let's assume 7 letters.
* 20. Annoyed (5 letters): IRATE? ANGRY? VEXED? TEASED? IRKED? IRKED is 5 letters. VEXED is 5. ANNOYED is 7. Let's look at the grid. 20 Across is row 10. It looks like 5 letters. IRKED or VEXED.
* 22. Nuclear process (6 letters): FISSION (7) or FUSION (6). FUSION fits 6 letters.
* 23. Vanilla slice topping (5 letters): Often topped with ICING.
* 25. Railway bridges (6 letters): VIADUCTS? 8 letters. ARCHES? 6 letters. GIRDERS? 7. TRACKS? No. VIADUCT is singular. Plural is needed? "Railway bridges". ARCHES works. Or SPANS? 5 letters. Let's check the grid. 25 Across is row 12. It looks like 6 letters. ARCHES is a strong candidate.
* 28. Take apart (6 letters): DISMANTLE is 9. SEPARATE is 8. UNDO? 4. BREAK UP? 7/8. DISASSEMBLE? Too long. TAKE APART synonym: DISJOIN? UNRAVEL? DECONSTRUCT? Let's try DISMANTLE's shorter synonyms. STRIP? 5. DISMEMBER? 9. How about BREAK DOWN? No. UNDOING? No. Let's look at 28 Across. Row 14. Looks like 6 letters. DISJOIN? UNFASTEN? UNTIE? LOOSEN? SEVER? 5. DISPART? Rare. APART? No. Let's try DISUNITE? 8. SUNDER? 6 letters! SUNDER means to take apart or split.
* 29. Was gloomy (5 letters): SULKED? 6. MOPED? 5. SAGGED? 6. DARKENED? 8. MOPED fits "was gloomy/sad".
* 31. One-on-one fight (4 letters): DUEL.
* 32. Carry out (crime) (7 letters): COMMIT. That's 6. PERPETRATE? 10. EXECUTE? 7 letters. Yes, you execute a plan or crime.

Step 2: Solve the Down Clues

* 1. Dollar division (5 letters): CENTS? No, 100 cents. DIME? 4. QUARTER? 7. PENNY? 5. But "division" might mean CENTS. Let's check the grid. 1 Down is column 1. It intersects 1 Across (CHATTER). C-H-A-T-T-E-R. So 1 Down starts with C. CENTS fits.
* 2. Appropriate (4 letters): FITTING? 7. APT? 3. SUITE? No. PROPER? 6. MEET? As in "meet the requirements". FIT? 3. Let's look at 2 Down. Starts with H (from CHATTER? No, 1 Across is C-H-A... so 2 Down starts at H? No, 2 Down is at col 2. 1 Across is 1-7. So 2 Down starts at row 1, col 2 which is H. Word starting with H, 4 letters, meaning appropriate. HITS? No. HOOTS? No. HEED? No. HAND? No. Maybe 1 Across isn't CHATTER.
* Let's re-evaluate 1 Across. "Talkative person". CHATTY? 6 letters. GABBY? 5. LOQUACIOUS? Too long. TALKATIVE? 9. VOLUBLE? 7. If 1 Across is VOLUBLE, 1 Down starts with V. V... Dollar division? No.
* Let's try CHATTERBOX? 10 letters. No.
* Let's look at 1 Down again. "Dollar division". Could it be CENT? 4 letters. If 1 Down is CENT, 1 Across starts with C.
* Let's look at 2 Down. "Appropriate". Starts with letter 2 of 1 Across. If 1 Across is CHATTER (C-H-A-T-T-E-R), 2 Down starts with H. 4 letters. HITS THE SPOT? No. HANDY? 5. HOLE? No. HEFT? No.
* Maybe 1 Across is GABBER? 6 letters.
* Let's look at a different angle. 3 Down: "Here, ... & everywhere". The phrase is "Here, there & everywhere". So 3 Down is THERE. 5 letters.
* 3 Down starts at row 1, col 3. So 1 Across has 'T' as its 3rd letter.
* 1 Across: _ _ T _ _ _ _. Talkative person. CHATTER fits (C-H-A-T-T-E-R). 3rd letter is A. Wait. C(1) H(2) A(3). No.
* Let's try TALKER? 6 letters.
* Let's try PRATER? 6 letters.
* Let's try BABBLER? 7 letters. B-A-B-B-L-E-R. 3rd letter B.
* Let's try CHATTER again. C-H-A-T-T-E-R. 3rd letter A. 3 Down is THERE. T-H-E-R-E. Starts with T. So 1 Across 3rd letter must be T.
* Word for talkative person with T as 3rd letter: OUTSPOKEN? 9. VERBOSE? 7. V-E-R-B-O-S-E. 3rd R.
* GARRULOUS? 9.
* LOQUACIOUS? 10.
* TALKATIVE? 9.
* How about CHATTER? If 3 Down is not THERE? "Here, ... & everywhere". It's definitely THERE.
* So 1 Across, 3rd letter is T.
* _ _ T _ _ _ _.
* PATTERER? No.
* TWADDLER? 8.
* JABBERER? 8. J-A-B... no.
* BLATHERS? 8.
* Let's look at CHATTER again. Is it possible 3 Down is something else? No.
* Is it possible 1 Across is TALKATIVE and the grid is bigger? No, standard size.
* Let's try RANTER? 6.
* YAPPER? 6.
* TRAITOR? No.
* What if 1 Across is CHATTER and 3 Down is THEIR? No.
* Let's look at 4 Down. "Overrun (with disease)". INFESTED? 8. PLAGUED? 7. SWARMING? 8.
* 4 Down starts at row 1, col 4. So 1 Across 4th letter is start of 4 Down.
* If 1 Across is CHATTER, 4th letter is T. 4 Down starts with T. TEEMING? 7 letters. Teeming with disease? Yes. TEEMING fits "Overrun".
* So 1 Across 4th letter is T.
* Back to 1 Across: _ _ _ T _ _ _. Talkative person.
* CHATTER has T as 4th letter. C-H-A-T-T-E-R.
* Does 3 Down start with A? No, 3 Down is THERE. Starts with T.
* So 1 Across 3rd letter is T.
* Word: _ _ T T _ _ _.
* BETTER? No.
* UTTERER? Someone who utters? Rare.
* TITTERER? 8.
* TOTTERER? No.
* Let's reconsider 3 Down. "Here, ... & everywhere". Could it be AND? No. THERE is the only logical answer.
* So 1 Across 3rd letter = T.
* And 4 Down starts with 1 Across 4th letter.
* If 1 Across is CHATTER, 3rd is A, 4th is T.
* Conflict: 3 Down needs T at start. 1 Across 3rd spot is A.
* So 1 Across is NOT CHATTER.
* We need a 7-letter word for "Talkative person" where the 3rd letter is T.
* _ _ T _ _ _ _.
* GABBER? G-A-B... no.
* JABBER? J-A-B... no.
* PRATER? P-R-A... no.
* TALKER? T-A-L... no.
* VOLUBLE? V-O-L... no.
* LOQUACIOUS? Too long.
* VERBOSE? V-E-R... no.
* GARRULOUS? G-A-R... no.
* EFFUSIVE? E-F-F... no.
* FLUID? No.
* RUNNING? No.
* How about TWATTER? Offensive/slang. Unlikely.
* TWADDLE? Noun.
* TWADDLER? 8 letters.
* BLATHER? 7 letters. B-L-A... no.
* CLATTER? Noise.
* CHATTER? We established this fails the cross.
* Is it possible 3 Down is THESE? No.
* Is it possible 1 Across is 6 letters? TALKER? T-A-L-K-E-R. 3rd L. No.
* YAPPER? Y-A-P... No.
* GABBY? 5.
* Let's look at 1 Down again. "Dollar division". CENTS. Starts with C. So 1 Across starts with C.
* So 1 Across is C _ T _ _ _ _.
* CATERER? No.
* CITIZEN? No.
* COTTER? No.
* CHATTER was the best fit semantically. Is there an error in my intersection logic?
* Grid:
* 1 Across: Squares 1-7.
* 1 Down: Squares 1-5 (approx).
* 2 Down: Squares 2-5 (approx).
* 3 Down: Squares 3-7 (approx).
* If 1 Across is CHATTER:
* Pos 1: C (Starts 1 Down: CENTS?)
* Pos 2: H (Starts 2 Down: H...)
* Pos 3: A (Starts 3 Down: A...) -> Clue: "Here, ... & everywhere". Answer: THERE. Starts with T. Mismatch A vs T.
* Therefore, 1 Across cannot be CHATTER if 3 Down is THERE.
* Is there another answer for "Here, ... & everywhere"?
* "Here, there and everywhere".
* Could 3 Down be EVERYWHERE? 10 letters. Too long.
* Could 3 Down be AND? 3 letters. "Here, AND everywhere"? No, the phrase is "Here, there and everywhere". The missing word is THERE.
* Maybe 1 Across is TALKATIVE (9 letters)? If the grid is wider? No, standard crossword.
* Maybe 1 Across is VOLUBLE (7 letters)? V-O-L... 3rd L. No.
* Maybe 1 Across is GARRULOUS (9)? No.
* Maybe 1 Across is LOQUACIOUS (10)? No.
* Let's check CHATTER again. Is it possible 3 Down is THEIR? No.
* Is it possible 1 Across is PRATTLE? 7 letters. P-R-A... No.
* TITTLE? No.
* TATTLE? To gossip/talk. T-A-T-T-L-E. 6 letters.
* TATTLER? A talkative person or bird. 7 letters. T-A-T-T-L-E-R.
* Pos 1: T. 1 Down starts with T. "Dollar division". TENTHS? No. THIRDS? No. TICKS? No.
* Pos 3: T. 3 Down starts with T. THERE. Matches!
* Pos 4: T. 4 Down starts with T. TEEMING. Matches!
* So 1 Across is likely TATTLER.
* Let's verify 1 Down: Starts with T. "Dollar division". TENTHS? 6 letters. THIRDS? 6. TWOS? No. TICKS? No. CENTS starts with C.
* If 1 Across is TATTLER, 1 Down starts with T. What is a dollar division starting with T? TENTH? (10 cents). THIRTY? No.
* Maybe 1 Down is CENTS and 1 Across starts with C.
* If 1 Across starts with C, and 3rd letter is T (for THERE), and 4th letter is T (for TEEMING)...
* C _ T T _ _ _.
* COTTAGE? No.
* COTTON? No.
* CHATTER is C H A T T E R. 3rd A.
* CLATTER is C L A T T E R. 3rd A.
* CRITTER? No.

* SPEAKER? 7. S-P-E-A-K-E-R. Not specifically "talkative" in a gossipy sense, but a person who talks.
