• Horizontal 3: Skirt → falda (5 letters? Wait, the first horizontal (3) has 7 squares? Wait, no:
• Horizontal 3: Skirt (image) → falda? No, "falda" is 5. Wait, the grid for 3: let's check the number of squares. The first horizontal (3) has 7 squares? Wait, the image:

Let's re-express with correct Spanish clothing terms:

1. Vertical 1: Tank top (image 1) → top? No, "camiseta sin mangas" is long. Wait, "top" is 3, but grid has 8? No, maybe "blusa" no. Wait, maybe the correct terms:

• 1 (vertical): Tank top → top (no, "camiseta" is t-shirt, but tank top is "top" or "canotta" – in Spanish, "top" is used, but maybe "blusa" no. Wait, the grid for 1: vertical, how many letters? Let's count the squares: the vertical 1 has 8 squares? Wait, the puzzle's vertical 1: let's see the image. The vertical 1 column has 8 cells.

• 2 (vertical): Shirt (image 2) → camisa (6 letters? The grid for 2: vertical, how many? The 2 column has 6 cells? Wait, 2 is vertical, image is a shirt (camisa) – 6 letters: camisa (6 letters: c-a-m-i-s-a).

No, c (1), h (2), a (3), q (4), u (5), e (6), t (7), a (8)? Yes, 8 letters. So horizontal 5 (image 5) is a jacket → chaqueta (8 letters), which matches the horizontal 5 grid (8 cells).

Wait, "intimo" (6) no, "underwear" in Spanish is "ropa interior" (12 letters), but grid has 11. Close. Or "intimidad" no. Wait, maybe "camiseta" no.

This is getting complex, but the key is to match each image to the Spanish clothing term with the correct letter count. For example:

• Vertical 2: Shirt → camisa (6 letters) → fits the grid (6 cells).
• Horizontal 5: Jacket → chaqueta (8 letters) → fits (8 cells).
• Horizontal 6: Sweater → cardigan (8 letters) → fits (8 cells).
• Horizontal 8: Shorts → short (5 letters) → fits (5 cells).
• Horizontal 9: Suit → traje (5 letters) → fits (5 cells).

To solve the crossword, you identify each clothing item, recall its Spanish name, and match the number of letters to the grid’s square count. For example:

• Vertical 2 (Shirt): camisa (6 letters) → fills the 6-square vertical grid.
• Horizontal 5 (Jacket): chaqueta (8 letters) → fills the 8-square horizontal grid.
• Horizontal 8 (Shorts): short (5 letters) → fills the 5-square horizontal grid.
