64 puzzles with duplicate answer words

One of the unwritten rules of crossword construction is that no grid should repeat an answer word.

For various reasons you can discover here, that rule is sometimes broken. It's often interesting to see how repeated answers are clued in the same puzzle.

In some of the older puzzles, the repeats are presumably inadvertent.

Click here to see all the clues used for repeated words.
