What this maker can do

A crossword from your own words

Type answers and clues — the generator lays out the grid in real time, right there in the preview. What you see is what your players get.

Hidden solution

Hide a secret word inside the grid. Players collect its letters by solving the words around it — a puzzle within the puzzle, or a way to pick prize winners.

Answer key

Flip the answers on while you build to check the grid, off to see the puzzle the way players will.

Clues with pictures

Premium

Swap text clues for images or audio — players work out the answer from what they see or hear.

Manual builder

Place the words and intersections yourself when you want a tight, newspaper-style grid instead of a generated one.

Play in teams

Premium

Split the class into teams. Every correct answer syncs live to all teammates, and you watch each team's progress in real time.

Your colors and fonts

Premium

Match the puzzle to your brand or classroom — grid colors, fonts and backgrounds are all yours to change.

Word bank

Premium

List all the answers next to the grid, so beginners pick from the bank instead of guessing cold.

Any alphabet

Premium

Add a character panel for accents and other special letters, so players can type them without a special keyboard.
