A trick crossword for National Puzzle Day

Today is National Puzzle Day*, so to celebrate, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features a crossword puzzle.

* Only if you're reading this on January 29th. If you're reading this on any other day then it's not National Puzzle Day today. It was National Puzzle Day when I published this, though. That's what I meant. Apologies for any confusion.

This isn't any normal crossword puzzle, though. To make things a little more tricky, some of the answers are a little bit devious...

2) Classic puppet and partner to Judy.
3) Used to cut circular holes (usually two) in paper.
4) To strike someone with your fist.
5) Part of the historical name for the breed of horse now more commonly known as the Suffolk Horse. (The Suffolk _ _ _ _ _ )
