About This Free Printable Crossword

Hearts, lace, and Cupid get the hard treatment in this Valentine crossword: eighteen answers on a 13x15 grid at a difficulty made for confident solvers. Clues ask for the letters that mean hugs and kisses, what the O in that sign stands for, and Cupid's weapon before the shot, so the theme is sweet but the solving is not. Teens, adults, and upper-elementary students who like a real challenge will feel the spark.

Use it at a class party after the card exchange, at a family dinner in February, or as a sub-plan activity with a seasonal twist. Printing works either way: choose Letter or A4, run Print Puzzle for the blank grid with clues, and keep the solved grid from Print Answer Key, printed on its own page, until everyone has had a fair try. Save as PDF in the print dialog downloads a copy to keep. When the last heart falls into place, more Valentine crosswords and our full printable collection are ready to be adored.
