About This Free Printable Crossword

History students can lock in nine key World War 2 terms through this 10x10 crossword, clued at medium difficulty for middle school and up. Answers include the fast lightning war tactic, the underground fighters of occupied Europe, and the Pacific fleet commander, with the occasional longer word that rewards careful spelling. The 10x10 square format sits in the middle of our size ladder, meatier than the easy 9x9 pages yet more compact than the 11x11 mediums.
