A something different crossword looks like a standard American crossword puzzle but the grid is usually wide-open with few black squares, and the entries are usually contrived phrases (with equally contrived cluing). The NPL prints word square versions of these with no black squares at absurdly large sizes that would never allow a proper word square.
