For “crossword puzzle” I expected “cruciverba” as an Italian word. Is “puzzle” more common?

I’ve often heard both used. I tend to go with “cruciverba” :slight_smile:

Normally, “puzzle” is reserved for “jigsaw puzzles” in Italian.
“Crossword puzzle” is either “(le) parole incrociate” or “cruciverba”.
