Download Fill-in (PDF)How do you solve a crossword?
Read each clue and write the answer in the squares that start at its number: ACROSS answers go left to right, DOWN answers go top to bottom. Where two answers cross they share a letter, so each answer you find helps with the next.
What is a fill-in crossword?
A crossword without clues. The words are listed by length, and you fit each one into the grid where its letters cross the others. Start with the lengths that have only one word.
Who are these crosswords for?
The animal set suits children around 8 and up and families, the Christmas set suits holiday parties and classrooms, and the travel set suits adults. Fill-in crosswords work for all ages.
Can I make my own?
Yes. These puzzles were made with the DT Labs crossword maker. Make your own themes and word lists, build a full book with answer keys, and export a KDP-ready PDF. Exports come with a commercial licence for KDP and Etsy.
