Free Classroom Puzzle Maker
Free Puzzle Maker for Teachers
Turn this week's vocabulary into printable puzzles, each with its answer key
Updated Sep 27, 2026
Puzzone is a puzzle maker that starts where a teacher's week starts: a word list. Paste your vocabulary or spelling words and make a crossword with your own clues, a word search, a word scramble or a matching worksheet of terms and definitions. For number sense and logic there are sudoku, kakuro, calcudoku and futoshiki generators, plus mazes in three sizes. There are 26 puzzle types in all, every one prints as a PDF with an answer key page, and none of them needs an account.
Why use Puzzone
Built from your word list
Use the words you are actually teaching. The generator lays out the grid; the clues, definitions and word choice stay yours.
Answer key for marking
Add the answer key as a second page of the PDF, so checking a class set takes minutes rather than a lesson.
Copier-friendly by default
Pages print in black and white unless you switch color on, so they photocopy cleanly. US Letter, A4 or A5.
Easier and harder versions
Word count, grid size and difficulty settings let you print two levels of the same activity for mixed-ability groups.
How it works
Pick a puzzle
Word puzzles for vocabulary and spelling, or number and logic puzzles for a math warm-up or an early-finisher task.
Add your words or settings
Paste your word list, with clues or definitions where the puzzle uses them, or choose a size and difficulty for number puzzles.
Print or share
Download the PDF with its answer key and print a class set, or share a link so students can solve on screen.
