Constructor's Note
Note: All the "words" in the grid are chemical element symbols composed of two letters. On the periodic table, the first letter would be capitalized and the second letter not.
The abbreviations we use for the names of elements, that are used in all chemical writing, are useful to learn. This is an example of a simple crossword that is blocked out on the grid as a cross that enables two-letter words everywhere. It works well because the letters used in chemical element symbols are common throughout the periodic table. Have fun with it!
