1, 2, 3 crossword

A crossword variant in which 1, 2, or 3 letters may be written into each square. There are variations of this variant:

Crushword is a variant with no upper limit on the number of letters, though some sources use this name for the 1, 2, 3.
Variogram forms in the NPL are also one or more.
The jumping crossword allows 0 or 1 letters.
Double-or-nothing allows 0 or 2.

When only a few squares contain multiple letters and the entries in those squares are related somehow, it is instead a rebus crossword.

Also called: crushword puzzle, double trouble crossword, variogram forms
