Crossword puzzle

A crossword puzzle is a type of puzzle where a person fills in blocks of a puzzle with words that are guessed from the supplied hints. In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, Brainy is usually the Smurf who comes up with crossword puzzles for his fellow Smurfs to figure out, submitting them daily in the village newspaper. It is considered one of Empath's favorite activities.
