A quick cross word puzzle
$begingroup$
This puzzle took me less than five minutes to compose. With luck it will take you about the same time to solve.
cp
dt
ts
Instructions
Find two letters that, added to the above three pairs of letters, make three cross words.
You can move the above letters apart if necessary in a horizontal direction but you must not change their order or orientation.
The added pair of letters is the same in each case and stays in the same order.
What are the three words?
Please make sure that they are cross words, not just any old set of words.

There is more than one valid answer, see below... it took me 10 sec to find and >5 min to justify all three of them as 'cross'...

@Omega Krypton - 'cross' is a synonym for 'angry'. So cross words are words that you might say to express anger. The answers are all mild expletives that express anger or annoyance.

Just to be creative/contrary, here's a second equally valid solution:
letters A,R
Giving
CARP : to complain in a cross manner
DART : a projectile whose tail ('flight') is cross-shaped
ARTS : the main cross-disciplinary faculty in university
"Please make sure that they are cross words, not just any old set of words."
They bloody well are cross words :)

That's a good one +1. I think cross-discipline might be stretching it a little (?). I's interesting that you still used the letters A R. I wonder if any others are possible even for words that aren't 'cross'.

Depending on how you define cross, another solution would be:
Pretty much any nonsensical combo.
And the words:
Justified as cross as in messed up.

I think you mean a different second letter ... but without these being cross words, you’re not actually answering this question. (There are other solution letters that can form arbitrary words, so this selection isn’t particularly noteworthy anyway)

Depending on how you define cross, another solution would be:
Pretty much any nonsensical combo.
And the words:
Justified as cross as in messed up.

I think you mean a different second letter ... but without these being cross words, you’re not actually answering this question. (There are other solution letters that can form arbitrary words, so this selection isn’t particularly noteworthy anyway)

what are cross words? thanks!

$begingroup$
@Omega Krypton - 'cross' is a synonym for 'angry'. So cross words are words that you might say to express anger. The answers are all mild expletives that express anger or annoyance.
