Crossword Flash Game

Not those crosswords.

In this Flash game, you're given a grid with some letters filled in. When you click on a blank square in the grid, all the squares that are the same letter light up. Click on the bank of available letters on the side, and fill in the grid. There are five puzzles, starting with super-easy and ending up at expert, but I solved them all in about half an hour.

Curiously, I often solve crossword clues this way, especially cryptic crosswords. I know words well enough to spot them based on fragments of the letter patterns, and it's not uncommon for me to figure out the word and then try to figure out the clue.
