Razzle Challenge

Word games are the focus this week and may I introduce you to a nifty little word game from Razzle called Criss Cross (no, it's not a crossword puzzle). A block of words of equal length (i.e., 5 rows of 5-letter words) is given and the player must find all the 5-letter words that can be formed by using one letter from each row running from top to bottom.
