Turn your clues into a crossword, as fast and smoothly as possible
This tool is for anyone who wants to quickly turn their own clues and answers into a crossword puzzle. Everything about it is built around that one goal — no account, no ads.
Vision
A tool that takes you from a bare idea to a beautiful, ready-to-print crossword puzzle in seconds — no design skills, no fiddling, no waiting around.
Mission
We keep honing the tools — clue entry, layout algorithms, hidden messages, templates — so each one earns its place by getting you closer to the result you actually wanted, with as little effort as possible.
What the tool does
Fast clue entry
Paste a whole list of clues and answers at once, or add them one by one — the puzzle builds as you go.
Hidden message
Hide a secret word or phrase in the grid. Its letters are scattered across the answers, and solvers reveal it by working through the clues.
Six layout algorithms
Each one arranges the same clues differently and is fully deterministic, so the same clues always rebuild the same grid.
Templates & your own images
Pick a decorative template for themed artwork and a title, upload your own images, or both. The grid, the clues, and every image can be dragged and resized to fit exactly how you want.
