This is Crossed Words, the brain-bending party game of crazy categories and wackier words! At the start of the game, the board is populated with three column categories and three-row categories. This forms a 3 x 3 grid. Players will try to come up with answers that fit both of the categories that form one of the nine intersections on the board. Players have nine discs to write answers on. Players fill out answers as quickly as they can and place those discs facedown on the board. Players score points for each intersection where they have placed an answer no one else placed.
