Each number in our Cross Code grid represents a different letter
of the alphabet. You have three letters in the control grid to start
you off. Enter them in the appropriate squares in the main grid,
then use your knowledge of words to work out which letters
should go in the missing squares.
As you get the letters, fill in other squares with the same number
in the main grid and control grid. Check off the alphabetical list of
letters as you identify them.
MAGIC SQUARE
ESCAPE TRAP? HOORAH!

four words each of four letters which will fit in the
grid to form a magic square in which the words
can be read both horizontally and vertically.

Here are two
miniature fivesquare
crosswords
using the same
grid – but the
letters have
been mixed up.
You have to
work out which
letters belong
to which
crossword.
Place the four signs (add,
subtract, multiply, divide)
one in each circle so that
the total of each across
and down line is the same.
Perform the first calculation in each
line first and ignore the mathematical
law which says you should always
perform division and multiplication
before addition and subtraction.
