Frequently Asked Questions

Does the space crossword include all the planets?

Yes. All eight planets have clues, plus the Sun, Moon and a few space words.

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.
