You've probably marveled at the ability of the very few who are able to contrive these intricate grids of interlocking words. But if you've ever tried to create a crossword puzzle with pencil and paper, you've probably given up in frustration. One or two words fit an area nicely, but as the grid fills, it becomes increasingly impossible to think of a word that will mesh with words already there. That doesn't work.

The word you need could be anywhere in the dictionary.
