Disregarding your subject line totally ... here's one wild guess hazarded ..
you can always break for a new line within a cell by pressing Alt+ENTER? One
good practice, however, is never to mix numbers with text data in the same
cell. Always use 2 different cells. Much cleaner and easier for you to
perform subsequent calculations on the numbers downstream, etc.

Any semblance of value in the response above? If yes, click the YES button
below. Note that clicking YES will not dissuade other responders from jumping
in with yet other views for you.

As Max said in his post, you really shouldn't mix numbers & text. However, to
get the appearance of what you want, you might try this setup:

Selecting every other column, change column width to somthing small, say
0.5. Repeat with row height, making every other row about 8.25. Set the other
rows/columns to heights/widths appropriate to what you want for crossword.

You should have a sheet with tiny squares, big squares, and rectangles.
Ignore the rectangels. Selecting a group of four cells (1 tiny square, 2
rectangles, 1 big square) format cell to have a borer around edge. This will
give appearance of a single square, creating base for your crossword. Copy
this formatting to other cells as needed. Now, you can place a number in top
left corner, and text letter in bottom right corner.
