Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossword.

Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.

Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.

Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.

Who is a crossword suitable for?

The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.

Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.

How do I create a crossword template?

For the easiest crossword templates, WordMint is the way to go!

How do I choose the clues for my crossword?

Once you’ve picked a theme, choose clues that match your students current difficulty level. For younger children, this may be as simple as a question of “What color is the sky?” with an answer of “blue”.

Are crosswords good for students?

Crosswords are a great exercise for students' problem solving and cognitive abilities. Not only do they need to solve a clue and think of the correct answer, but they also have to consider all of the other words in the crossword to make sure the words fit together.

Crosswords are great for building and using vocabulary.

If this is your first time using a crossword with your students, you could create a crossword FAQ template for them to give them the basic instructions.

We have full support for crossword templates in languages such as Spanish, French and Japanese with diacritics including over 100,000 images, so you can create an entire crossword in your target language including all of the titles, and clues.

Off the Grid: Sally breaks down USA TODAY's daily crossword puzzle, Dark Matter

There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today's puzzle before reading further! After Dark

Constructor: Jared Goudsmit

Editor: Jared Goudsmit

Comments from Today’s Crossword Constructor

Jared: I’m so happy with how this puzzle turned out! I think this is the first time I’ve made this type of theme for USA Today. The clues that excite me the most are the Alice Childress reference at 39-Across, the new angle on a very common crossword entry at 32-Across, and the shout-out to the city I live in at 54-Down. (I know, no self-respecting resident uses that nickname for the city, but I couldn’t help myself!) I hope you enjoy the puzzle.

What I Learned from Today’s Puzzle

• LIME (14A: Citrus fruit juiced for kung chae nampla) Kung chae nampla is a salad in Thai cuisine. It consists of shrimp, garlic, chilies, LIME juice, and fish sauce. The treatment of the shrimp is similar to that used in ceviche; raw shrimp is marinated in LIME juice and fish sauce.
• OREO (32A: May___ (fake Heinz condiment mix with a cookie in its name)) Somehow I missed the fake photo of MayOREO when it was shared on Instagram in 2021 . The Instagram account Doctor Photograph shared a photo of the fake product, which was, of course, shared on other social media platforms, leading some folks to wonder if it was real. In response , Heinz tweeted, "I wonder if my fellow sauceteers would be ready for such a combination." OREO said that they are "always exploring new flavors and product innovations..." It appears that, at least for now, MayOREO has stayed in the realm of imagined food.
• IRA (41A: NBA player/activist Newble) IRA Newble played in the NBA from 2001-2008. During that time he played for the San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Seattle SuperSonics, and Los Angeles Lakers. Since 2007, IRA Newble has been active in bringing attention to the human rights crisis in Darfur, Sudan.

Random Thoughts & Interesting Things

• PAWS (5A: Leopard's feet) The genus Panthera includes the largest members of the cat family. Leopards are one of five species in this genus. The others are jaguar, lion, snow leopard (a separate species from leopard), and tiger. All of these big cats have PAWS, of course. My cat, Willow, would like you to know that she also has PAWS, and that she helps write "Off the Grid."
• OSCAR (9A: Muppet who sings "Grouchelot") On episode 2776 of Sesame Street , which originally aired on December 24, 1990, OSCAR the Grouch presided over a meeting of the Grouchketeers and read the story of Grouchelot (a spoof of Camelot). The story was told over a series of segments that were interspersed throughout the episode. At the conclusion of the story, OSCAR sings "Grouchelot." The song includes the catchy lyrics, "...the sun never shines in Grouchelot / and there's always long lines in Grouchelot," and "...all night grouches yell / it's so yucky and swell / and the rotten fish smell / that's the way you can tell it's Grouchelot."
• UMAMI (16A: Flavor in katsuobushi) Katsuobushi, also known as bonito flakes, is skipjack tuna that has been simmered, smoked, and fermented. Katsuobushi and dried kelp, which add UMAMI flavor to foods, are the main ingredients in dashi, a broth used in many soups and sauces in Japanese cuisine.
• ALPS (17A: Wildspitze's mountain range) Wildspitze is a mountain that is located in a section of the ALPS in Austria. With an elevation of 12,370 feet, it is the 65th highest mountain in the ALPS, but it is the fourth most prominent peak in the ALPS. (Topographic prominence is a relative height measure that reflects the height of a mountain in relation to other peaks near it.) Wildspitze is also the second highest peak in Austria, after the Grossglockner.
• TOAD (28A: "Cane" amphibian) The cane TOAD, also known as the giant TOAD or marine TOAD, is the largest species of TOAD. They average four to six inches in length, but can be as long as nine inches. The cane TOAD was historically used to eradicate pests from sugarcane, which gave rise to its common name.
• PSY (29A: K-pop artist known for "Gentleman" and "Gangnam Style") Although I am familiar with PSY's song, "Gangnam Style," the music video for which went viral in 2012, his song, "Gentleman," is new to me. (To be fair, I was only peripherally aware of "Gangnam Style, and didn't follow PSY's career.) PSY released "Gentleman" in 2013. Although it wasn't nearly as big of a hit as "Gangham Style," the music video has been viewed over a billion times.
• HORSE WHISPERERS (35A: People who can seemingly talk to equines) HORSE WHISPERERS are trainers who follow what is sometimes referred to as natural horsemanship, which generally means considering the motives and needs of HORSEs. The term HORSE WHISPERER (which some trainers don't care for) dates to the nineteenth century and an Irish HORSE trainer, Daniel Sullivan, who earned the nickname "HORSE WHISPERER" because he stood so close to the HORSE that people assumed he was talking to it. The term became more well known after the publication of Nicholas Evans' 1995 book, The HORSE WHISPERER , which was adapted into a 1998 movie of the same name starring Robert Redford.
• AIN'T (39A: "A Hero ___ Nothin' but a Sandwich" (Alice Childress novel)) Alice Childress (1916-1994) was a novelist, playwright, and actress. A Hero AIN'T Nothin' but a Sandwich is a young adult novel published in 1973. The book is set in Harlem, and tells the story of Benjie, a 13-year-old boy who becomes addicted to heroin. The book was adopted into a 1977 movie of the same name.
• NASA (40A: Org. with the Perseverance Mars rover) Perseverance is a rover that landed on Mars as a result of NASA's Mars 2020 mission, which launched on July 30, 2020. Perseverance successfully landed on Mars on February 18, 2021. Whenever Perseverance is referenced in the puzzle, I like to take that opportunity to catch up on its activity on Mars. Perseverance landed in an area of the moon called the Jezero Crater. After exploring the crater for over three years, it is now exploring the crater rim . I've also learned that it's dust-storm season on Mars .
• LATINO (44A: Like Jorge Ramos and Oscar Isaac) Jorge Ramos is a Mexican American journalist and author. He is the anchor for the Univision (a Spanish-language TV network) news program Noticero Univision . Óscar Isaac is a Guatemalan American actor. He portrayed Poe Dameron in the Star Wars sequel trilogy (2015-2019).
• GECKOS (46A: Lizards who might go "tokay") There is a species of Southeast Asian GECKOS known as the tokay GECKOS. The word "tokay" is an onomatopoeia (a word that sounds like the sound to which it refers) of the sound made by male tokay GECKOS .
• LUCIA (52A: Saint ___ (island nation near Barbados)) Saint LUCIA is an island country in the Caribbean Sea. It is located northwest of Barbados. The capital of Saint LUCIA is Castries.
• DIVA (56A: Legendary female singer) When I first read this clue I thought, "That is kind of vague. Is it Cher? Enya? Sade?" I was mentally running through the list of all the legendary female singers with 4-letter names. Turns out, the clue was intentionally vague. It's not referring to a specific legendary female singer, but the general term DIVA.
• MISO (58A: Soup that may contain abura-age) Abura-age is twice-fried tofu. Thin tofu slices are first fried at a low temperature, and then again at a higher temperature. Abura-age is often added to MISO soup.
• AESOP (22D: "The Fly and the Ant" fabulist)  AESOP was a Greek storyteller who lived between 620 and 564 BCE. The fable "The Fly and the Ant" is a discussion between two insects about their relative worth. The fly boasts that it can fly anywhere and eat anything it wants. The ant, however, points out that the fly is a nuisance and most of what it eats is disgusting, while the ant works hard and for the common good.
• THORA (26D: "13 Minutes" actress Birch) 13 Minutes is a 2021 disaster film that takes place in the fictional town of Minninnewah, Oklahoma. When a tornado is detected, residents have 13 minutes to take shelter. THORA Birch stars in 13 Minutes , along with Trace Adkins, Peter Facinelli, Anne Heche, Amy Smart, and Paz Vega.
• OHIO (32D: Cuyahoga Valley's state) Cuyahoga Valley National Park is the only National Park in the state of OHIO. The park encompasses an area around the Cuyahoga River, which runs through the city of Cleveland. My husband and I have been to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and it is an interesting park because the areas of the park are intertwined with residential areas. In the picture of the waterfall I've shared, you can see a car traveling on a road in the top of the photo. In the 1960s, the Cuyahoga River was heavily polluted, as a result of industrial runoff. In fact, the river caught on fire at least 14 times! The news coverage of the Cuyahoga River fire provided momentum for the American environmental movement. The Cuyahoga River has been extensively cleaned up. The area was designated a national park in 2000.
• OTIS (50D: R&B singer Clay) I have previously written about OTIS Clay .
• CHI (54D: ___-town (Navy Pier's city)) In addition to CHI-town, nicknames for Chicago, Illinois include the Windy City, Second City, and City of the Big Shoulders.

Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

• MATTER OF FACT (20A: "In actuality...")
• HORSE WHISPERERS (35A: People who can seemingly talk to equines)
• CHOCOLATE LAB (48A: Playful brown dog)

AFTER DARK: The first word of each theme answer can be placed AFTER the word DARK to create a new phrase: DARK MATTER, DARK HORSE, and DARK CHOCOLATE.

It's been a little while since we've seen this somewhat classic USA Today theme type. In this type of theme, a word in the title is paired with one of the words in each theme answer (or occasionally both words) to form new phrases. This puzzle is a great example of this type of theme, as all three theme answers and the resulting phrases are well-known and interesting. Thank you, Jared, for this enjoyable puzzle.

Life Milestones

Meghan Morris’s Sunday puzzle asks us to save the date(s).

By Caitlin Lovinger

Jump to: Tricky Clues | Today’s Theme

SUNDAY PUZZLE — In his print introduction to this grid, Joel Fagliano writes: “Meghan Morris is an appellate public defender living in Denver (found in the 110-Across!). A mother of twin second graders, she is often thinking about this puzzle’s milestones theme. One recent parenting challenge — the ‘turf war’ over who gets to do Wordle on her phone. ‘I try to take deep breaths and let go of my need to use my regular starting word when I see them typing in something else.’”

I, too, have shared my Wordle, and it has brought out the control freak in me (F-R-E-A-K). Anyway, this is Ms. Morris’s second Sunday puzzle for The New York Times, and it’s a lovely, ruminative solve that doesn’t require us to play with letters, word structures or anything linguistically obscure. It might make you ponder the cycle of life, though, as children run off to school and the first autumn leaves fall from the trees.

Today’s Theme

But I digress! There are seven entries in this theme set, at 24-, 37-, 48-, 66-, 83-, 98- and 110-Across. Each is clued by an age, in italics, and we become older as we descend the grid. All of the ages have a significance to them, a fact that is underscored by the title of the puzzle, “Life Milestones.” The significance is guessable in many cases, but there’s a satisfying trick to solving each one, as the entries are all creative twists on idioms that suit the clues.

For example, we start at the top with a big accomplishment: 24-Across is [ Age 1 ], one’s first birthday. This solves to an endeavor that most of us undertake at this point in life: trying to get up and take a first good look around. So, AMATEUR STANDING, in other words.

48-Across, [ Age 16 ], refers to a rite of passage that might strike terror in one’s passengers: First comes a learner’s permit, and then you’re DRIVING CRAZY.

As the theme progress through the ages, the gaps widen. There’s nothing between 83-Across, [ Age 21 ], and 98-Across, [ Age 65 ]! That’s a long time between landmarks, but that’s often how life is. Both entries solve to fitting expressions: BAR ADMISSION, commemorating the legal drinking age, and FINISH THE JOB. Ms. Morris gives us a lovely, long retirement, finishing at 110-Across, [ Age 100 ], when we reach the CENTENNIAL STATE, which most people do only by going to Colorado .

Tricky Clues

91A. This clue refers to an obsolete item whose usefulness came and went in the blink of an eye when you think big picture. [Parts of vintage movie collections] solves to VHS TAPES, which came out commercially in 1976 (debuting with a Korean film called “The Young Teacher”) and ended their run roughly 30 years later. VHS TAPES are what “Be kind, rewind” refers to, for anyone who knows that little rhyme but forgot (or never knew) exactly what it meant.

101A. I didn’t deduce this trivia clue at all, and it was one of the last entries in my solve: [Any of the six in football’s “New Year’s Six”] solves to BOWL GAME.

33D. Both this clue and its entry are small, yet they stymied me. [They follow quarters] had me thinking of currency first, and then fractions — quarters and halves — but this is a reference to tournaments that have rounds: quarterfinals and SEMIS.

48D. I solved this without thinking about it much — the [ “Whip It” band] is DEVO, and they are fully in my generation’s musical canon. But then I read the Constructor Notes and had a howl over something I’d never thought about, which is what a great name DEVO is for a whippet.

68D. This is another little “gotcha” clue. [Something on an ear … or in a different sense, a foot] brought to my mind a “lobe” or an “iamb,” neither of which apply to both ears and feet. I got every letter to the answer from its crossing entries: It’s CORN.

71D. This is a divine word to debut in a crossword puzzle! [Out of patience] solves to EXASPERATED, which describes a foundational emotional state of solving and has somehow never found its way into a grid (although “exasperate” has appeared a few times).

Constructor Notes

This puzzle involved some back and forth with the editors to make it as good as it could be. That was a fun process, and I’m happy about how it turned out. I was excited to be able to include where I live (110-Across), and the name of my 17-year-old Italian greyhound (48-Down; we think his former owners named him that because they thought he was a whippet). And, as a Swiftie, I’m proud of the clue for 35-Down.
