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.
