Questions

Are these crossword puzzles free to print?

Yes. Print as many copies as you like, for a class, a party, a church group or a care home. There is no signup, no watermark and no ads on the page or the printout.

Where are the answers?

Under every puzzle, Print answer key opens the same crossword with every square filled in and brings up the print dialog. The answers aren’t printed on this page, so you can hand it out as it is.

How big is the print?

Large print puzzles open with squares up to about five-eighths of an inch on a computer and clues in large type, on screen and on paper. On a phone the grid shrinks to fit the screen, so print from a computer for the biggest squares.

Can I change the clues?

Change the clues opens the maker with that puzzle’s answers and clues already typed in. Edit them, add your own, and it lays out a new grid for you to print or share.

Can we solve them on a phone or tablet?

Solve online opens the puzzle in the browser: tap a square and type, and Check tells you which letters are right. It works on phones, tablets, Chromebooks and laptops.
