    Is it cheating to check the spelling of a word? Or do you have to put down what you think the spelling is and face the consequences? Is it cheating to use pencil and erase incorrect answers rather than using a pen?

    Of course it's cheating - crosswords improve your spelling, but they won't if you google the spelling of words each time!
