Frequently Asked Questions
What age is the animal crossword for?
About 6 to 9. The answers are listed under the puzzle, so children who are still learning to spell can match words to the clues.
How many words should a crossword have?
Between 8 and 15 works best on one page. Fewer than 6 makes a sparse grid; more than 20 makes the clue list very long.
Can I make it easier for young kids?
Yes. Switch on "List the answers under the puzzle" so they can see the words, and choose short, everyday words.
Does the crossword come with answers?
Yes. The answer key prints on its own page with every word filled in.
