Printing Questions, Answered

How do I print these crossword puzzles?

Open any puzzle, pick letter or A4 paper and one of three clue sizes, then press print. The blank grid and its clues print on one page, and the answer key prints separately so you can hand it out — or hold it back until the pencils go down.

Are the puzzles really free?

Yes. Every grid and every answer key on CrosswordWise is free to print, with no sign-up and no watermark. Teachers and parents may copy as many pages as their classrooms and car rides need.

Which grid size should I print?

Start with an easy 9×9 for early readers, move up to 10×10 or 11×11 for a medium-length sit, and save the 15×15 challenge grids for confident solvers. The print sizes guide explains every option, including the bite-size 5×5 daily mini.
