Puzzles resulting in arguments? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crosswords

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'puzzles' is the definition.
(crossword is a type of puzzle)

'resulting in arguments?' is the wordplay.
'resulting in' becomes 'cross' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'arguments?' becomes 'words' (argument is a kind of word).
'cross'+'words'='CROSSWORDS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for crosswords that I've seen is " which call for solutions".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
