    Fun! I like the variety of games you managed to include

      Thank you!

      Here's the explanation for the winning move in all the games. In some cases, there were multiple options but only one that fit the game and the crossword grid:
      Battleship: To sink the final ship would be C4.
      Chess: White puts black in checkmate with rook to A5
      Connect 4: Slot #3 is a win for red (the clue implying it's red's turn)
      Wordle: The word is TELLS
      Trivial Pursuit: The answer is George II (the clue implying the 'History' category)
      Scrabble: This one is tricky but the clue implies getting a 'bingo' which is using all letters in your possession. You can play DESSERTS down the left side to also make DEAR and SAP.

        And one more note on Scrabble is DESSERTS can be played for the double word score so I repeated the clue to try and tip that.
