You can enter the clue, and then an answer pattern. For instance, a clue I couldn&#8217;t get today was 6 across Patronage. I entered patronage as the clue, and then <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneacross.com\/cgi-bin\/search_banner.cgi?c0=patronage&amp;p0=.e..s&amp;s=+Go%21+\">.E..S<\/a> (the periods are place holders, and I knew the E and S) and the site came back with the word <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneacross.com\/cgi-bin\/search_word.cgi?w=AEGIS&amp;c=patronage\">AEGIS<\/a>. The word is clickable and it gives you a possible definition. As it turns out, it was right and it then helped me get another 6 clues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t do a lot of crossword puzzles, but when I do, I can&#8217;t stand leaving a few clues unanswered.
