Puzzles by theme
Kids
Short answers and plain clues, on grids big enough to write in with a pencil. Good for a classroom starter, a rainy afternoon or a car journey.
3 puzzles →
Sports
Football, cricket, tennis, golf, athletics and the Olympics. Clues lean on the vocabulary of the game rather than on who won what in which year, so they do not go stale.
3 puzzles →
Spanish
English clues, Spanish answers, drawn from the first few hundred words a beginner meets: family, colours, food, animals, the house. Built for a language classroom.
3 puzzles →
Fairy tale
Cinderella, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, the three little pigs, the emperor's new clothes. All drawn from the traditional public-domain tales.
3 puzzles →
Christmas
Carols, decorations, the dinner and the traditions. Print a stack for a party, a classroom or the table on the day.
3 puzzles →
Animals
Elephants, otters, falcons and flamingos. Clues describe the animal rather than test Latin names, so these work for a classroom as well as a coffee break.
0 puzzles →
Food
Ingredients, dishes and the things that go on them. Good for a dinner-party filler or a home economics lesson.
0 puzzles →
Music
Instruments, the sections of an orchestra, and the vocabulary of notation. Written for a music room but fair on anyone who has held an instrument.
0 puzzles →
Science
Physics, chemistry and biology at the level a school covers them. The clues define rather than quiz, so nobody needs the textbook open.
0 puzzles →
Geography
Landforms, climate and the language of maps. Peninsulas, estuaries, meridians and the rest of what a geography lesson is built on.
0 puzzles →
Nature
Trees, wildflowers and hedgerows. Bluebells, foxgloves, hawthorn and the things you walk past without naming.
0 puzzles →
Travel
Airports, itineraries, ferries and souvenirs. Built to be printed and taken along rather than solved before you go.
0 puzzles →
Halloween
Pumpkins, costumes, cauldrons and the things that go bump. Print a stack for a party or a classroom at the end of October.
0 puzzles →
Weather
Thunder, drizzle, barometers and the difference between weather and climate. A staple of the primary curriculum and of British small talk.
0 puzzles →
Jobs
Trades and professions, from blacksmith to astronomer. Written for a careers lesson or an English class working through occupations.

How to print one
Open any puzzle and use your browser’s print command. The site navigation, footer and the buttons are left off the printed sheet automatically, so what you get is the grid and the clues.
The answers are not printed with the puzzle, and they are not hidden in the page either — you can reveal them on screen when you want them.
