Hey @Faith-and-Hope & @Zoe7 - you have inspired a new space!
I love that you guys are doing the crossword together - so fun!
I thought we could start up a quizes, crosswords and other fun brain teasers thread for people to come and play and take their mind off everything - what do you think?
Please pull up a seat with your coffee in tow and bring your crossword into here 
I have been impressed with your answers @Zoe7!!

Tantrum = fit ...although if that is right, I have an issue with the idea of a tantrum being called a fit.

@Faith-and-Hope Hee hee, when I just started googling tantrum, it autofilled as the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown. You can tell the sorts of things I google. 
If anyone would like a lecture on the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown, I'm happy to oblige.

So for the purposes of the crossword, it seems that "fit" is probably right. I would still never ever refer to a child having a tantrum as having a fit. On the bright side, they didn't include "meltdown" as a synonym. The funny thing is, I've been accused of having a lot of those words that are listed, when now I know that what I am actually having when I exhibit that behaviour is a meltdown.
Anyway, back to the crossword...
