Math Crossword Puzzle

Math Crossword Puzzle takes the format of a traditional crossword and replaces every clue with a small arithmetic problem, filling the grid with the resulting numbers instead of letters. Because a single cell often sits at the intersection of two separate calculations, solving one clue can hand you a digit you need to finish a neighboring one, so working outward from the clues you're most confident about tends to unlock the trickier ones nearby. Unlike a word crossword where letter frequency offers hints, a math crossword gives no shortcuts around actually doing the arithmetic correctly, so double-checking a calculation before committing it to the grid matters more here than pattern-guessing would in a language puzzle. Larger grids with more overlapping clues turn a handful of simple sums into a genuinely interlocking numerical puzzle.
