Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the fruit crossword list the answers?

It is meant for early readers. The word bank turns it into a matching game, which is a gentler first crossword.

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.
