Criss-cross packs with answer keys

32 puzzles · answer keys included · updated Sep 20, 2026

A word fill gives you the grid and the word bank, and asks which word goes where — the answer comes from word length and crossing letters rather than from clues. That makes it gentler than a crossword and a good vocabulary-placement exercise. Eight puzzles per themed pack with answer keys.

Questions

How is a word fill different from a crossword?
There are no clues. You get the complete word bank and work out placement from word lengths and the letters where entries cross.
Is it easier than a crossword?
Usually yes, because no outside knowledge is needed — everything required is on the page.
Are answers included?
Yes, the filled grid for each puzzle is at the back.
Can I use my own word list?
Yes, the word fill maker builds a criss-cross grid from any list you paste in.
