Note
One regular spelling covers both the simple past and the participle used after have or be. Whether a passive is possible depends on which use of the verb is meant: numbers and gears can be crunched by someone, but gravel that crunched underfoot made the sound itself and has no passive to match. In the slang sense of calculating, the usual object is numbers: the figures were crunched overnight.
