No best answer has yet been selected by Cartesian. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've encountered crosswords where the across clue has 'ü' in it but the down clue which intersects at that point only has a 'u' in it.
Similarly I've seen crosswords where a word like 'mañana' has a crosser, intersecting at the 'ñ', which only has an 'n' in it.
So it appears that many crossword setters regard 'ü' and 'u' (as well as 'ñ' and 'n', etc) as being the same.
