It is not a crossword of any kind, just an English exam paper

A crossword from The Sun :-/ ?

Is this a prize puzzle for which you have to pay to enter?
I can remember as a child my first introduction to crossword puzzles and this type was common in Dad's Sunday paper. There are clearly many potential 'correct' answers and the paper simply hoped that the income from entrance fees outweighed the prize money on offer.
And 'last week's lucky winner' - Mrs Smith from Derby - was never sufficiently clearly identified to be sure that there ever was a prize given out.

jungleboy : Just out of interest, in which publication does this puzzle appear ?

The Star-Herald

Indeed, exactly like dad's paper =) So, is there a name for these crosswords? What did dear old dad call them?!

"fill-in-the-blanks" crossword ?
