## What is Crossword Jigsaw Puzzles?

A crossword puzzle has been broken into jigsaw pieces. Can you put it back together?

To solve the puzzle, look for pieces that can be joined to make words. Try to build up until you have assembled the whole thing!

The easiest level has just four pieces, while the hardest level can have more than 40. This makes the game perfect for both beginners and experts. 

We dare you to conquer the fiendish Impossible level! It might seem like it is ACTUALLY impossible at first, but I assure you it is doable. (While making the game I practiced a lot, and now I looove this super hard level).
