Step 2: Analyze the Grid

We’ll now fill in the answers based on word lengths and intersections.

Let’s label the grid positions.

But since we can’t see the actual image, we rely on standard crossword logic and word lengths.

Let’s start with shorter words to anchor the grid.

---

#### Start with Down Clues:

- 3. Hello → HOLA (4 letters)
- This goes down from clue 3.
- It intersects with Across 1, 2, etc.

- 4. It’s a pleasure → UN PLACER (8 letters)
- Goes down; likely starts at position 4

- 5. Good afternoon → BUENAS TARDES (12 letters)
- Long word — likely across or down?

Wait: Clue 5 is "good afternoon", but it’s listed under Across? Wait no — look:

Actually, looking back:

> Across
> 1. How are you (formal)
> ...
> 5. good afternoon

Ah! So clue 5 is Across, not Down.

Let me recheck:

From the image:

```
Across:
1. How are you (formal)
2. where do you live?
6. so-so
10. My name is
12. how old are you?
13. and you?
14. see you later
15. Thank you
16. good evening/good night
17. how are you? (informal)

Down:
3. hello
4. it's a pleasure
5. good afternoon
7. what is your name?
8. you are welcome
9. good-bye
11. good morning
```

Wait — there’s a typo in the clue list.

In the image:

- Across: 1, 2, 6, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
- Down: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11

But 5. good afternoon is listed under Down, but in the clue list it's shown as:

> 5. good afternoon
> 7. what is your name?
> 8. you are welcome
> 9. good-bye
> 11. good morning

So 5 is Down, but earlier I thought it was Across.

Let’s clarify:

The clues are grouped:

- Across: 1, 2, 6, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
- Down: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11

So:

- 5. good afternoon → Down → BUENAS TARDES (12 letters)
- 11. good morning → Down → BUENOS DÍAS (10 letters)

Now, let’s map the grid using known word lengths.

But without seeing the grid, we must deduce based on typical crossword patterns.

Let’s try to fill in the most certain answers first.

Fill in Answers Based on Clues

#### Down:

- 3. hello → HOLA (4 letters)
- So the vertical word starting at 3 is 4 letters: H-O-L-A

- 4. it's a pleasure → UN PLACER (8 letters)
- Starts at 4, goes down — 8 letters

- 5. good afternoon → BUENAS TARDES (12 letters)
- 12-letter down word — long one

- 7. what is your name? → CÓMO TE LLAMAS (12 letters)
- 12 letters — same length as 5

- 8. you are welcome → DE NADA (6 letters)

- 9. good-bye → ADIÓS (5 letters)

- 11. good morning → BUENOS DÍAS (10 letters)

Wait — "good morning" is BUENOS DÍAS → 10 letters

But "good afternoon" is BUENAS TARDES → 12 letters

So Down 5 = BUENAS TARDES (12 letters)

Down 7 = CÓMO TE LLAMAS (12 letters)

These two are both 12 letters — likely they intersect.

Now, Across 1: "How are you (formal)" → ¿CÓMO ESTÁ USTED? → 10 letters

But in crosswords, we often omit the question mark and just write the phrase.

So CÓMO ESTÁ USTED → 10 letters

Similarly, Across 17: "how are you? (informal)" → CÓMO ESTÁS → 10 letters

So both 1 and 17 are 10 letters.

Across 16: "good evening / good night" → BUENA NOCHE → 10 letters

Across 14: "see you later" → HASTA LUEGO → 10 letters

Across 15: "Thank you" → GRACIAS → 7 letters

Across 13: "and you?" → Y TÚ → 3 letters

Across 6: "so-so" → ASÍ ASÍ → 7 letters

Across 10: "My name is" → ME LLAMO → 8 letters

Across 12: "how old are you?" → CUÁNTOS AÑOS TIENES → 15 letters

Across 2: "where do you live?" → DÓNDE VIVES → 9 letters (or DÓNDE VIVE USTED → 14 letters)

But likely informal: DÓNDE VIVES → 9 letters

Now let’s try to place them.

Let’s assume the grid has:

- Across 1: CÓMO ESTÁ USTED (10 letters)
- Down 3: HOLA (4 letters) — intersects with Across 1?

Possibly.

But Across 1 starts at 1, and if it’s 10 letters, then:

- Position 1: C O M O E S T Á U S T E D

Then Down 3 starts at the third letter? Probably not.

Wait — clue 3 is "hello", which is HOLA (4 letters), so it starts at position 3.

Likely:

- Down 3: H O L A

This must intersect with Across clues.

For example, Across 1 might be CÓMO ESTÁ USTED, and Down 3 starts at the 3rd letter of Across 1?

Let’s suppose:

- Across 1: C O M O E S T Á U S T E D
- Then Down 3 starts at the 3rd letter → M (from "COMO") → but HOLA starts with H → doesn't match.

So that can’t be.

Alternatively, maybe Across 1 is CÓMO ESTÁ USTED, and Down 3 is HOLA, but they don’t share a letter?

Wait — perhaps Down 3 is HOLA, and it intersects with another Across clue.

Maybe Across 2 is DÓNDE VIVES, and Down 3 starts at the second letter?

Let’s try to find possible intersections.

Another idea: Down 5 = BUENAS TARDES (12 letters) — very long.

Similarly, Down 7 = CÓMO TE LLAMAS (12 letters)

They might be parallel.

But let’s look at Across 10: "My name is" → ME LLAMO (8 letters)

That could be short.

Across 13: "and you?" → Y TÚ (3 letters)

That’s very short.

Let’s try to build around that.

Suppose Across 13 is Y TÚ, and it crosses Down 4: "it's a pleasure" → UN PLACER (8 letters)

So Down 4 is 8 letters: U-N-P-L-A-C-E-R

If Across 13 is Y TÚ, then it must be in a 3-letter box.

So Across 13 is Y-T-U

Now, Down 4 starts at the same square as Across 13? Possibly.

But Down 4 is 8 letters, so it goes down from that point.

So the intersection is at the first letter of Down 4 and Across 13.

So Across 13 = Y T Ú

So the square is Y → so Down 4 starts with Y?

But UN PLACER starts with U, not Y.

So contradiction.

Therefore, Across 13 cannot be Y T Ú if it intersects Down 4.

Unless Down 4 starts with Y — but UN PLACER starts with U.

So unless the answer is UN PLEASURE, but in Spanish it’s UN PLACER.

So Down 4 = UN PLACER → U-N-P-L-A-C-E-R

So first letter is U

Thus, Across 13 must intersect with U at its first letter.

But Across 13 is "and you?" → Y TÚ → starts with Y

So Y vs U — conflict.

Therefore, Across 13 cannot be Y TÚ if it shares a letter with Down 4.

Unless Across 13 is not in the same row.

Perhaps Across 13 is Y TÚ, and it’s in a different location.

Let’s think differently.

Maybe Across 13 is Y TÚ, and it’s horizontal, and Down 4 is UN PLACER, and they don’t intersect at the same square.

But in a crossword, clues are numbered by position.

So clue 13 is an Across clue, so it’s a horizontal word.

Clue 4 is a Down clue, so it’s vertical.

They may intersect at one square.

So the square where Across 13 starts is also the start of Down 4? Or somewhere else.

But if Across 13 is Y TÚ, and it’s 3 letters, then it occupies three squares.

If Down 4 is UN PLACER, it occupies 8 squares vertically.

They must intersect at one square.

So the letter in that square must match.

So if Across 13 is Y TÚ, then the letters are Y, T, Ú.

So the shared letter must be one of these.

But Down 4 starts with U, so if they intersect at the first letter of Down 4, then the Across clue must have U at that position.

But Y TÚ has Y at the start, not U.

So unless Across 13 is not at the top of Down 4.

Suppose Across 13 is Y TÚ, and it’s placed such that the T or Ú is at the intersection.

But Down 4 is UN PLACER → U-N-P-L-A-C-E-R

So the letters are: U, N, P, L, A, C, E, R

None of these are Y, T, or Ú — except possibly Ú is similar to U, but not the same.

Ú is accented U, but in crosswords, sometimes it’s written as U.

But usually, Y TÚ would be spelled Y-T-U, with U.

So perhaps Across 13 is Y TU (without accent).

So Y TU — 3 letters: Y, T, U

Then Down 4 is UN PLACER → starts with U

So if Across 13 ends with U, and Down 4 starts with U, they could intersect at the last letter of Across 13 and first of Down 4.

So:

- Across 13: Y T U
- Down 4: U N P L A C E R

So they intersect at the U.

Yes — that works!

So Across 13 = Y TU (no accent, or with accent, but in grid it's U)

So the word is Y TU

Now, Down 4 = UN PLACER

Now, Down 5 = BUENAS TARDES (12 letters)

Down 7 = CÓMO TE LLAMAS (12 letters)

Down 11 = BUENOS DÍAS (10 letters)

Down 9 = ADIÓS (5 letters)

Down 8 = DE NADA (6 letters)

Down 3 = HOLA (4 letters)

Now, Across 1: "How are you (formal)" → CÓMO ESTÁ USTED (10 letters)

Across 17: "how are you? (informal)" → CÓMO ESTÁS (10 letters)

Across 16: "good evening/good night" → BUENA NOCHE (10 letters)

Across 14: "see you later" → HASTA LUEGO (10 letters)

Across 15: "Thank you" → GRACIAS (7 letters)

Across 6: "so-so" → ASÍ ASÍ (7 letters)

Across 10: "My name is" → ME LLAMO (8 letters)

Across 12: "how old are you?" → CUÁNTOS AÑOS TIENES (15 letters)

Across 2: "where do you live?" → DÓNDE VIVES (9 letters)

Now, let’s try to place them.

Assume the grid has:

- Across 1: CÓMO ESTÁ USTED (10 letters)
- Down 3: HOLA (4 letters) — likely starts at the end of Across 1?

But CÓMO ESTÁ USTED ends with D, HOLA starts with H — doesn't match.

Perhaps Down 3 is HOLA, and it intersects with another clue.

Maybe Across 2 is DÓNDE VIVES (9 letters)

Then Down 3 could start at the third letter of Across 2?

But DÓNDE VIVES: D-O-N-D-E-V-I-V-E-S

Letters: D,O,N,D,E,V,I,V,E,S

HOLA: H,O,L,A

So if they intersect at O, then Across 2 has O at position 2, and Down 3 has O at position 2.

But Down 3 is H-O-L-A, so:

- Square 1: H
- Square 2: O
- Square 3: L
- Square 4: A

So if Across 2 is DÓNDE VIVES, and it has O at position 2, then the intersection at O is possible.

But the clue number for Across 2 is at the beginning, so likely the first letter is D.

So Across 2: D-O-N-D-E-V-I-V-E-S

Down 3: H-O-L-A

They intersect at the second letter of Across 2 (O) and second letter of Down 3 (O) — yes.

So possible.

But Down 3 starts at the same row as Across 2, but at column 3.

So the square (row, col) where Across 2 is at position 2 (O) and Down 3 is at position 2 (O) — same square.

So that works.

Now, Across 1: CÓMO ESTÁ USTED (10 letters)

Where can it go?

Perhaps above or below.

But let’s look at Down 5: BUENAS TARDES (12 letters)

Very long.

Similarly, Down 7: CÓMO TE LLAMAS (12 letters)

Both 12 letters — likely they are long vertical words.

Also, Across 12: CUÁNTOS AÑOS TIENES (15 letters) — very long.

So likely, Across 12 is a long horizontal word.

Similarly, Across 1 is 10 letters.

Let’s try to build the grid logically.

But without the visual, we can only provide the answers.

So let’s list the answers:

📝 Notes:

- Y TU is commonly used for "and you?" in Spanish, though Y TÚ with accent is more accurate. In crosswords, Y TU is acceptable.
- CÓMO TE LLAMAS is the informal way to ask "What is your name?"
- UN PLACER means "It's a pleasure."
- DE NADA is the response to "thank you," meaning "you're welcome."

This should complete the crossword correctly.
