FAQ
Can I add name and date lines for class handouts?
Yes. Choose a Name line preset before Export PDF: Name + Date, Name + Class + Date, or Name + Period + Date. Answer-key PDFs omit the blanks.
Do you support A/B/C versions?
Layout variants (same clues, different grids) are a Pro / Activity Pack workflow. This page preloads a classroom object word list so you can try the free path now.
Where can I find printable topic examples?
Browse free printable examples by subject, or read the how-to guides on the blog, then open the AI maker to create a classroom variant.
How is this different from the printable landing page?
This teachers page starts from a classroom word-list preset with Name + Class + Date. The printable page focuses on PDF paper size, answer keys, and general export settings — use both as needed.
