The solver then tests whether each listed word is the one that will fit in that space; usually, a set of words extending out from the word being tried will be tested before all false possibilities can be eliminated. Once a word has been found to be the only one that fits, it is entered and crossed off the list, and another word is attacked, etc., until the puzzle's unique solution is complete.
