So pretty much what the title says, how can I play a windows only itch.io game with Crossover? If I download the file can I be able to open it with Crossover or do I have install something in my bottle?

Yes, you can usually run a Windows-only itch.io game in CrossOver by first downloading the Windows version of the game, then opening it with CrossOver to create or use a Windows bottle. In most cases, you may need to install extra components inside the bottle like DirectX or Visual C++ redistributables if the game doesn’t launch properly. It depends on the game, but many simple indie titles run fine with just a basic setup. Even while browsing things like nyt spelling bee archive, it’s nice to experiment with setups like this and see what works best.
