Hello :)

This is my first resource that I've created on Get Revising, so I've had a bit of trouble getting used to it. I originally wrote 25 clues for the crossword, but you can only view ten at a time. If anybody likes this set as a resource, I might make more or tweak this one so you can see more clues at a time, so please let me know.

Thanks,

AgamemNO!

Edit: If you go to flashcard mode, you can see all 25 clues and test yourselves on them :) hopefully that will be helpful :)
