Sorry, my fault.  I got careless copying while retyping the puzzle.

This is what it should look like (I double-checked this time):

    1   2   3   4   5
  +---+---+---+---+---+           Across       Down
1 |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+           1. erupt     1. risky
2 |   |   |   |   |   |           2. nymph     2. heath
  +---+---+---+---+---+           3. horse     3. spoon
3 |   |   |   |   |   |           4. soaks     4. strum
  +---+---+---+---+---+           5. twist     5. swept
4 |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+
5 |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+


The website has a bunch more examples, as well.
