AI Crossword Maker
From a topic to a printable crossword — AI writes the clues, you edit and print.
Start from a topic
Program builds the grid. AI only suggests words and clues when enabled.

FAQ
Is this AI crossword maker free?
Yes — you can build grids manually for free, and anonymous AI Topic demos use a small daily quota when the API is enabled. Pro unlocks higher limits, batch exports, and watermark-free PDFs.
Does AI place the crossword grid?
No. The language model suggests words and clues. A separate program builds the interlocking grid, numbers clues, and validates structure.
Can teachers print an answer key?
Yes. Export a student PDF and a separate answer-key PDF. Free exports may include a small site footer watermark.
Do I need an account to try it?
No for the first demo and for manual builds saved in your browser. Sign in when you want cloud saves or paid features.
