I do crosswords all the time.

Good ones have a theme.

So far I got: necessary evils

required (consent?)

essential facts

vital statistics

And several smaller clues . . . like nest and a pregnancy reference.

Well, it's not really doing a crossword, it's just looking at each line across and down and picking out the words.

I THOUGHT NA was sodium. and I think Etepe is going to be related to something mythological as Aton. Nice work you two!

No, the word down is "usually" so it would have to be a U.

One never knows what is going to be key . . . and what is merely designed either as filler or as a red herring. Sometimes I think the writers just like messing with us, too!!!

It looked to be a well-thought-out puzzle. There was a movie here about the making of crossword puzzles, but I didn't get to see it. Maybe I'll rent it this winter.
