Amerikanske krydsogtværser
Krydsogtværsopgaver som dem, der forekommer i de fleste nordamerikanske aviser og tidsskrifter har sammenhængende områder af hvide felter. Hvert bogstav indgår i to svar, og hvert svar indeholder sædvanligvis mindst tre bogstaver. I sådanne opgaver begrænses mørke felter sædvanligvis til at udgøre omkring en sjettedel af designet. Opgavegitre fra andre steder så som Storbritannien og Australien har en gitterlignende struktur med en større procentdel af mørke felter, sådan at op til halvdelen af bogstaverne kun indgår i et svar. Hvis for eksempel den øverste række beståe af et langt svarord, så vil der ikke være noget svarord i den anden række.
En anden tradition i opgavedesign (især i Nordamerika og Storbritannien) er, at gitteret skal have 180-graders rotationssymmetri, sådan at dets mønster ser ud på samme måde, hvis avisen vendes på hovedet. De fleste opgavedesignere kræver også, at alle hvide celler hænger samme i en stor komponent igennem fælles sider, sådan at de udgøe et enkelt polynomino.
Svenske krydsogtværser
The Swedish-Style grid uses no clue numbers - the clues are contained in the cells which would normally be black in other countries. Arrows indicate in which direction the clues have to be answered, vertical or horizontal. This style of grid is used in several countries other than Sweden, usually in magazines with pages of A4 or similar size. The grid often has a photo of a pop or movie star replacing a block of squares, as a clue to one answer. These puzzles usually have no symmetry in the grid.
Crosswords with clue cells inside the crossword grid are also called Arrowwords, Pointers or Tipwords in English, Autodefinidos in Spanish, Mots Fléchés in French, etc.
Crossnumbers
A crossnumber (also known as a cross-figure) is the numerical analogy of a crossword, in which the solutions to the clues are numbers instead of words. Clues are usually arithmetical expressions, but can also be general knowledge clues to which the answer is a number or year. There are also numerical fill-in crosswords.
The Daily Mail Weekend magazine used to feature crossnumbers under the misnomer Number Word. This kind of puzzle should not be confused with a different puzzle that the Daily Mail refers to as Cross Number.
Number Puzzles
Number puzzles are a variant of crosswords in which each cell has a number between 1 and 26. The solver has to find out for which letter of the alphabet a number stands.
Free Crosswords
This is a special type that tries to be least restrictive. You can use all available cell types (eg. clue cells, double clue cells, image cells, solution letter cells). You can mix answers that have a clue cell with answers that don't. Answers may contain characters as well as numbers.
