Questions
How do I write my own clues?
One per line, the word first, then a dash or colon and the clue: “MOON - It shines at night”. Use words of 2 to 15 letters, without spaces.
Why did a word not fit?
Every word must cross another one. A word with no letters in common with the rest cannot join the grid; the tool lists it so you can change it.
How do I print it?
Press Print (or Print with answers). Your browser’s print window opens with just the puzzle; choose your printer, or “Save as PDF” to keep a copy. On a phone, use the share or print option your browser offers.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
