Looks like fun. I'll try it tonight after work.

I couldn't think of a good word for "cross, intersect, intercept, etc." either.
FYI: Glen Proechel and Ken Traft of the Interstellar language School came out
with *{pachmu'} "Clawword" (or Sqr'bl, a Klingon crossword [Scrabble] board
game). I imagine others have come up with Klingon crosswords too, but I don't
know what they called them other than the generic {mu' Quj} or "word game".

This list is for us to practice our Klingon, not our English. But you don't
need to worry anyway; your English is quite good.
Just a thought... in view of the Klingon preference for threes, has anyone
tried devising a TRIANGULAR-shaped crossword puzzle (like a *klin zha* board,
or Klingon tactical displays)? I'm not sure how you would indicate coordinates
for three intersecting lines of text, though.
