Can I change the words?

Yes — one entry per line, the answer, a dash, then the clue. Make it about your family, class or office party.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes — the built-in clues are easy; for older players write harder clues or use more words.

Is there an answer key?

Yes, on the second page — leave it out if you print for a competition.

How many words can I use?

Ten to twenty works best on one page; more words make a bigger grid.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The crossword is made in your browser.
