Frequently Asked Questions

What grade is the science crossword for?

Third to fifth grade. It covers the water cycle, states of matter and forces. Swap in your own unit words in the maker.

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.
