Crosswords

How do you find the answers to crossword puzzles?

I know what they are, but I dont know how to find the answers. For example, on a wordsearch, we just find the words. But for the crosswords, wut're we suppose to do? Find the definition? A synonym? Or what?? (I know the across and down part of it)
