Frequently Asked Questions
Is the crossword maker free?
Yes. Building a crossword from your own words, printing it with the answer key and sharing the solve-online link are completely free. New users get starter energy points, which are only spent when the AI writes words and clues for you.
How long is my crossword stored?
A crossword is stored for 24 hours — enough to print it or share the solve link. Download the PDF for free at any time, or save the crossword for a year for a small one-time energy cost; styling it as a picture saves it automatically.
Can I print the crossword?
Yes — and it's free. The print version has two sheets: the empty grid with clues for solving, and a separate answer key. Use your browser's “Save as PDF” to get a file.
How does the AI crossword generator work?
You type a topic and choose how many words you want. The AI writes the words and short clues, an exact algorithm lays out the grid, and you get the finished crossword right away — the answers stay hidden until you press “Show answers”.
Can I make a crossword about a person as a gift?
Yes. Choose “AI by topic” and describe the person: their name and a few facts — favourite food, a pet, a dream trip. The AI turns them into playful riddles, and the finished sheet makes a great birthday or wedding surprise.
How many words can a crossword have?
From 2 to 20 words for free, and up to 40 with Prime. For a school assignment 10–15 words is usually the sweet spot: the grid stays dense and fits on one printed page.
