The law tends to disagree: crossword puzzles are copyrightable material just like any other published text is, so their value comes from the material that they help sell, whether that's a newspaper, or a crossword puzzle book, or a website, or any other published, in the legal sense, work.

The law doesn't care whether you claim a copyrighted work is yours or not. It cares whether, if you copy a copyrighted work, you have the license to do so.
