1

Say the topic and the hidden word

Every answer crosses one main word, and the shaded squares spell it out. The AI suggests both, or you choose them.
2

Change any clue you like

Clues match the level you teach: plain for grade 2, properly cryptic by very hard. Rewrite one, swap an answer, or ask the AI for another.
3

Print it with the key

Clues only, first letters filled in, or a word list at the foot of the page. The answer key prints on page two.

Crossword maker questions

Is this crossword maker free?

Laying out, editing and printing are free. You pay only when the AI writes a set for you, and teachers get a monthly allowance of those free.

Can I write my own clues?

Yes. Type them yourself and the grid solves around them, free and with no account. Or let the AI draft them and reword what you like.

What is the main word?

The word the shaded squares spell when the grid is full, usually the topic itself. Every answer crosses one of its letters, which keeps the puzzle on one page.

Can a crossword and a word search share a topic?

Yes. One topic goes out as either, so early finishers get the other one.
