PseudXcrossword puzzles
A PseudX is a crossword puzzle solved by using clues to find possible pseudonumes, then pseudospelling them on the puzzle to see if they fit correctly.   The first PseudX's here are for beginners, who have just learned to pseudospell – clues include the number of letters in the pseudonume.  The final three PseudX's do not include this help.
