diagramless criss-cross
There are several ways a criss-cross can be made diagramless.
- In one, you're given one starting word in a big open grid, and you are given not only the word list but also the list of words that cross each word, in order.
- In another, you're given the word list, and the grid is pre-filled with all occurrences of one or more letters which are frequent in the word list (sometimes rebus-style, with a word of two or more letters written into the pre-filled cells, though the other squares are normal).
Instances of the second type appear in WPC events under the name Scrabble, also with variations where all the initial letters are circled, or an arbitrary collection of letters is given.
