This free online English crossword turns definitions into a puzzle: read each clue, work out the word, and spell it correctly into the interlocking grid. It’s a satisfying way to connect meaning, spelling and vocabulary all at once.
Step by step
Pick a clue from the Across or Down list and read the definition.
Click the numbered square where that word starts.
Type the word — the letters fill the grid square by square.
Use the letters you’ve already placed from crossing words as hints for the trickier clues.
Stuck? You can reveal up to three words to keep going.
Tips to solve it
Start with the clues you’re sure of — every correct word gives you free letters elsewhere.
Count the squares: the word length is a big hint about which word fits.
Watch your spelling — a single wrong letter blocks the crossing word.
Who it’s for
Puzzles are graded by CEFR level (Pre-A1 to B1), so the Crossword suits beginner and elementary learners and works well as independent classroom practice.
