crossworthyadj. worthy of being in a crossword, either by having a friendly letter pattern or by being well known enough to be included in a puzzle (obscurities or crosswordese are not crossworthy though, even despite their correspondence to the latter guideline)
This one time, my brother and I were playing soccer and I was trying to describe how awesome I was at playing soccer. Out of nowhere, I said it was "wicked-swix" and it stuck ever since. It just rolls off the tongue and it's fun to say.
