About This Free Printable Crossword

Do not let the everyday words fool you. This kids crossword is the hard one: eighteen familiar answers, from crayons and scissors to the place you go to learn five days a week, crossing a 13x15 grid far bigger than our starter puzzles. Each clue, like the answer to a knock-knock joke or the hop with both feet off the ground, sounds simple, but the sheer number of crossings makes upper-elementary solvers work for every square. Confident kids, helpful siblings, and whole-family solving are the sweet spot.

It earns a place in the rainy-recess bin, an after-school club, or a sub folder that needs something substantial for fast finishers, and parents can pair it with a joke book for a cozy afternoon. Pick Letter or A4, use Print Puzzle to print the blank grid with clues for each solver, and keep the solved grid, printed on its own page via Print Answer Key, for yourself. Save as PDF in the print dialog keeps a copy in the backpack. More kids crosswords and easy printables from our full collection are ready whenever pencils are sharpened again.

How to Print This Crossword Puzzle
