crisscross 指没有提示、只给词表的填字游戏;句中有 clues,说明是普通填字游戏,应用 crossword。
cross 指单个两笔相交的记号或叉号(也指基督教的十字架),强调的是“一个标记”;crisscross 指许多线条互相来回穿插形成的整体图案,通常是重复、密集的。要表达“画一个叉”用 cross,描述“纵横交错的线条/纹路”才用 crisscross。
grid 是由平行线横竖相交组成的规整方格结构,线条方向规则、间距均匀;crisscross 的线条方向更多变、可斜可弯,呈密集交织状,不一定规整。说电网、街道方格用 grid,说“交叉的纹路图案”用 crisscross。
crossword 指报纸杂志上那种带提示语的填字游戏;crisscross 作名词时虽也指一种填字游戏,但那是不给提示、只给词表的特殊类型,且 crisscross 更常指交叉线条的图案。日常说“做填字游戏”用 crossword,与“图案”义无关。
