there is a crossword puzzle where you have to move around the grid dropping a letter in each square. The solution says:

..
read list (the answers to the clues are: bet, mow, has, phlegm, quinsy,
pyx, jack and visard) - drop the letters in the right places.
..

Experimenting with this, I have found that "has" is wrong: the correct answer to that clue ("Denotes ownership") is "of".

Here is a diagram of the solved crossword puzzle, which should make it clearer: (use a fixed-width font!) [1] -- feel free to add this to the solution if you like.

Code: Select all

        B
  V  PHLEGM
QUINSY  T OF
  Z  X    W
 JACK
  R
  D

(solver) Oops, I wrote VISARD but it should be VIZARD with a Z. The puzzle uses each letter of the alphabet once.
