across

Answer:

To solve this crossword puzzle, we analyze each clue:

Across Clues:

1. A game you play with X’s and O’s → TIC-TAC-TOE (matches the grid’s length, with “TIC” as the first part, visible in the grid).
2. There are 3 of these in the lab that you can place on the Chemical Shelf? → RADIOACTIVE SIGNS (or “RADIOACTIVE” as part of the answer; the grid has “RADIOACTIVE” partially, but the key is the lab safety context—likely “RADIOACTIVE” or a related term, but the visible grid has “RADIOACTIVE” with “R” at the start, matching “RADIOACTIVE” for the 10-letter slot? Wait, the grid shows “RADIOACTIVE” as “R A D I O A C T I V E”? Wait, no, the grid’s “ACROSS” 5 is “Radioactive, flammable and Explosive?”, but let’s focus on visible letters. The grid has “TIC” (1A), “CHECKERS” (maybe 3A? No, 3A is “THE... ROOM Hint: it’s written in red somewhere!” → FIRE (but grid has “FIRE” as “F I R E”? Wait, the grid’s “DOWN” has “BEAKERS”, “DOMINOES”, “CHECKERS”, “SURANIUM” (wait, “URANIUM” with “S” before? “SURANIUM”? No, “SUR” + “URANIUM” → “SURURANIUM”? No, likely “URANIUM” with a prefix. Wait, let’s list visible grid letters:

• DOWN:
• 1D: B E A K E R S (BEAKERS)
• 2D: D O M I N O E S (DOMINOES)
• 3D: C H E C K E R S (CHECKERS)
• 4D: S U R A N I U M (SURANIUM? No, “URANIUM” is U R A N I U M, so “S” + “URANIUM” → “SURANIUM”?)
• 5D: E (last letter of a word, maybe “E” from a short word)

• Across:
• 1A: T I C (TIC, from TIC-TAC-TOE)
• 4A: R A D I O A C T I V E (RADIOACTIVE, matching clue 5: “Radioactive, flammable and Explosive?” → HAZARDOUS? No, the clue 5 is “Radioactive, flammable and Explosive?” → HAZARDOUS? But the grid has “RADIOACTIVE” as part of the answer. Wait, the clue 4 is “There are 3 of these in the lab... Chemical Shelf” → RADIOACTIVE SIGNS (but the grid’s 4A is “RADIOACTIVE” as a 10-letter word? “RADIOACTIVE” is 10 letters: R(1), A(2), D(3), I(4), O(5), A(6), C(7), T(8), I(9), V(10), E(11)? No, maybe I miscount. Let’s check the grid’s visible letters:

Looking at the image, the grid has:

• Across 1: T I C (TIC, 3 letters)
• Across 4: R A D I O A C T I V E (11 letters? No, the grid’s “Across 4” is 10 letters? Wait, the clue 4 is “There are 3 of these in the lab that you can place on the Chemical Shelf?” → RADIOACTIVE (as a label, like “RADIOACTIVE” signs, so 10 letters: R-A-D-I-O-A-C-T-I-V-E? No, “RADIOACTIVE” is 11 letters. Maybe “HAZARD” but no.

Key Solved Entries:

• 1A (Across): TIC (from TIC-TAC-TOE, 3 letters: T-I-C)
• 1D (Down): BEAKERS (B-E-A-K-E-R-S, 7 letters, matches “BEAKERS” for a lab glassware)
• 2D (Down): DOMINOES (D-O-M-I-N-O-E-S, 8 letters, matches “DOMINOES” as a game)
• 3D (Down): CHECKERS (C-H-E-C-K-E-R-S, 8 letters, matches “CHECKERS” as a game)

For the remaining clues, we use the grid’s structure:

• 3A (Across): “THE... ROOM Hint: it’s written in red somewhere!” → FIRE (FIRE ROOM, with “FIRE” in red for safety, 4 letters: F-I-R-E)
• 5A (Across): “Radioactive, flammable and Explosive?” → HAZARDOUS (but grid length? Or “HAZARD” +... No, the grid has “RADIOACTIVE” as part of a down clue? Wait, the grid’s “Across 5” is adjacent to “RADIOACTIVE” in down? No, let’s focus on visible letters. The grid’s “Across 4” is “SURANIUM” (S-U-R-A-N-I-U-M, 9 letters, maybe “URANIUM” with “S” prefix, but “SURANIUM” is not standard. Likely a typo, but “URANIUM” is U-R-A-N-I-U-M, so “S” + “URANIUM” = “SURANIUM” (9 letters).

Final Answers (Key Entries):

1. 1A: TIC (T-I-C)
2. 4A: RADIOACTIVE (R-A-D-I-O-A-C-T-I-V-E, but grid shows “R A D I O A C T I V E” as down? No, “RADIOACTIVE” is across? Wait, the grid’s “Across 4” starts with “R”, so “RADIOACTIVE” (10 letters: R(1), A(2), D(3), I(4), O(5), A(6), C(7), T(8), I(9), V(10), E(11)? No, 10 letters would be R-A-D-I-O-A-C-T-I-V (10), but “E” is extra. Maybe “RADIOACT” (8 letters), but “RADIOACTIVE” is 11.

Given the visible grid, the most likely solved entries are:

• 1A: TIC (T-I-C)
• 1D: BEAKERS (B-E-A-K-E-R-S)
• 2D: DOMINOES (D-O-M-I-N-O-E-S)
• 3D: CHECKERS (C-H-E-C-K-E-R-S)

If you need a specific answer (e.g., 1A), it’s TIC.
