Questions, answered
Is the christmas crossword free to print?
Yes. Download it as a PDF sized for US Letter or A4, with an answer key page. No account, no email, no watermark.
Can I change the words and clues?
The christmas words and clues are loaded for you. Add or remove any word in the list, and click any line in the Across or Down list to rewrite its clue in your own words.
Can I make it easier for younger children?
Yes. Remove the longer words, or switch Solvers get to Word bank, which prints the answers under the grid so children fit them in by length instead of solving clues.
Can we solve it on screen?
Yes. Press Play and the puzzle becomes a board you can type into, with a timer, a check button and a reveal-a-letter button. Your progress is kept if you close the tab.
Why did a word not fit?
Every word in a crossword has to cross another one. If a word shares no letters with the rest we say so, and Reshuffle tries a different arrangement.
