Crossword puzzle maker

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

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

Flip the answers on while you build to check the grid, off to see the crossword the way players will — and print either version as a worksheet, blank or solved.

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

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

Split the class into teams and play the crossword online together: every correct answer syncs live to all teammates, and you watch each team's progress in real time.

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

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

Add a character panel for accents and other special letters, so players can type them without a special keyboard — a crossword in any language.

Print the blank crossword for the class and the solved one for yourself, straight from the preview — clues under the grid, ready for the photocopier.

One link opens the crossword in any browser — on a phone, a tablet or the board, with no player accounts. Show the QR code to the class, or embed the crossword on your own site or in your LMS.

Build the crossword without an account and play it straight away. A free account saves it and covers 60 player sessions a month, with every activity type included.

Open a ready-made crossword and play it online, free, exactly like your players would.
