Hello ari. A crossword is a grid of squares, some with letters filled in, some blank. The object is to fill letters into all the squares to form words and phrases both horizontally and vertically.
to help, some squares are numbered, and the numbers refer to a clue which lets you know what word or phrase might go in that row or collumn. the clue usually takes the form of a litle riddle, the answer being the appropriate word. for more info see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossword As to accessible crosswords, I did here once about a self-voicing crossword game which even let you write your own, but where you might get it, or what happened to it I don't know. I'd imagine there are braille crosswords somewhere as well (though filling in the letters on a brailer might be fun), but again I have no idea where you'd get them. Hth. Beware the Grue!
