Fill-Ins, also known as
Fill-It-Ins or
Word Fills, are a variation of the common
crossword puzzle in which words, rather than clues, are given. Fill-Ins are common in puzzle
magazines along with
word searches,
cryptograms, and other
logic puzzles. Some consider Fill-Ins to be an easier version of the crossword. Since the Fill-In requires no outside knowledge of specific subjects, one can solve the puzzle in another language.
