Notigrama (ABC)
The Spanish daily crossword built from the day's news.
Every day: A new crossword of the news each day, the same for all readers: the clues are about the stories in that day's ABC. New puzzle: Once a day; the site does not state the time.
Notigrama, 'el crucigrama de las noticias', is ABC's daily news crossword in Spanish. Each day's grid takes its clues from current events, so you need to have followed the news as well as know your words.
About Notigrama (ABC)
Notigrama is the news crossword in the puzzle section of ABC, the Spanish daily newspaper. A new grid comes out every day, and its clues are drawn from the news: politics, economics, sport and culture from Spain and abroad. It sits beside ABC's other daily puzzles, a crossword, a sudoku, an autodefinido, a word wheel, a word search and Word Guess, several of which come in levels from mini to difficult, the harder ones for subscribers.
You fill the grid as in any crossword, across and down, but most answers are names, places and terms from the week's stories, so it doubles as a quiz on how closely you have followed the news.
It suits Spanish speakers who read the news and want a quick check on it, and learners who want vocabulary tied to current events.

Tips
