Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jannell has implicit memory for some of the words, which means she doesn't consciously remember solving the crossword puzzle, but the words are still stored in her memory and can be retrieved unconsciously. This is why she was able to create them during a game of Scrabble without consciously recalling where she saw those words before.
