Hmmm, is that really true?
Properly formed ones, yes. Check out a syndicated crossword in any major paper.
There are "accepted" sizes as well - 15x15 is the most common for daily
crosswords. Somewhat larger for Sunday crosswords (and note that it has to be
odd numbers for diagonal symmetry).
Sorry Mark - your origins are showing :-)
It is really true - in the USA.
Often but *not* always true in the UK (where variant forms are more
common, including 'skeleton' or 'barred', or where which are symmetric
both ways but have the answer numbers missing, etc.)
I've been told (but can't guarantee) not true in France, don't know
about the rest of the world.
