@Jafe when I made a crossword for friends I did it in Google Sheets, and set the link to automatically make a copy. This does require a Google account, however
No, I was visiting my grandparents, and wanted to make things easier on my grandfather, who's been the one leining there for the past few decades (he's been struggling with some health issues recently)
I haven't ever read a whole פרשה since my bar mitzva. Esther, though — when I was growing up my dad read it, so I heard it practiced beforehand and then three times on the day. So I got to know large parts of it automatically
@msh210 @Stiv ahh, in a Wikipedia footnote it says that haruspicy is also called extispicy. So I figured that extispex should also be a word. And indeed, it's in Wiktionary, meaning the same thing as haruspex, and it's EX (former husband) SPIT* EX (former wife)
And now I learned two new words for the price of one
@oAlt Awesome spot, well done :) I figured SPIT* would have to be involved but couldn't work out how that would fit with my target word only having two of those letters in it!
The two countries you see can be replaced by other countries, but the two "?'s" can't. Which two countries must replace the question marks? Explain your reasoning.

@msh210 wax on, wax off (a martial arts exercise) = w (with) axon (nerve fiber) wax (rage, according to Wiktionary, which further says it's a dated and colloquial sense) off (extinguished, as an adjective)
axon was my break-in point for this, because I first thought that maybe we were looking for a synonym of nerve, then I thought it was going to be a type of nerve, then I thought nerve = axon, then found the answer from there and realized along the way that an axon isn't a nerve but rather a nerve fiber
Figure out what the following diagram represents and complete it by placing objects and numbers in number 3 and 4. Number 3 might be a bit ambiguous, but as long as you got the correct idea, it's fine.
If it were hidden in grains, there would be something having to indicate that it's hidden there. "With" would do the opposite, and "with no" would simply make no sense as a containment indicator (though it could be a subtraction indicator, for example)
