Anyone know what the circles mean when they’re like this in a crossword?

Oh ok thanks. When I did this puzzle I finished it before the vertical clues so I never saw that I guess.
5 0 ReplyDept @lemmy.sdf.org No problem. If you want another tip: when a clue ends in a question mark, perhaps, or maybe it means that the answer or clue is a pun.

I play the Sunday as a group and my God. Crosswords have some of the most bullshit rules.
You can put multiple letters on a single square? Reebus. You can also have an answer that's a whole phrase instead of a word.
