Great Minds: Crosswords About Famous People

Ask ten people about Marie Curie and you'll get ten different answers. One remembers the two Nobel prizes, another the radium, a third only the name. Famous persons crosswords are built on that gap. Each clue is a one-line portrait, and it usually gives a detail (a year, a country, a discovery) rather than asking for a bare name. The grids cover scientists, rulers, painters, writers and inventors, Darwin next to Lincoln, Kahlo next to Mandela. Free on crossword.by, updated regularly, fine on a phone, a tablet or a desktop. Letters too small? Pinch to zoom. Simple grids are for school pupils and harder ones for those who read biographies for fun.
