How to make your first Teacher Edition puzzles

You build them with the same three steps you already know.

  1. Set up your book

    Choose Teachers under "Who is it for?", then a grade level: Grades 1-2, Grades 3-4 or Grades 5-7. Type a title, choose how many puzzles and the page size, and add topics from the "Choose a topic" menu (48 topics, grouped by school subject) or with "Fill with suggestions".

  2. Get your words: two ways

    Option A: ask an AI. Click Copy prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok to get a word bank.
    Option B: use your own words. Pick Use your own words and type or paste your own word bank. This way the book needs no AI.

  3. Paste your words, then build

    Paste the AI's answer, or type your own word list. Click Build puzzles, check the pages, then click Download PDF.

The own-words format

Type a list like this. The app builds the crossword.

# Weather Words CLOUD - White puffs floating in the sky RAIN - Water that falls from the clouds STORM - Thunder and lightning come with this
  1. A line starting with # begins a new puzzle and gives it its title. A blank line also starts a new puzzle.
  2. Between a word and its clue you can use a dash, a colon, an equals sign, a comma or a tab.
  3. Each puzzle needs at least 3 words. A word can have up to 15 letters, and a puzzle up to 40 words.

Want to see a finished example first? Click "Load sample book". A Name and Date line is added at the top of every puzzle page. To print classroom worksheets, switch on "Classroom worksheets"; for a book to publish on KDP, leave it off. If an AI wrote your words, read every clue before you print or publish.
