You're in. Welcome to Crossword Puzzle Creator.
Thank you for your purchase. Everything you need is on this page, so you don't have to look for an email. Bookmark this page so you can come back to it any time.
Step 1: Download your app
Click the button below to get the Crossword Puzzle Creator ZIP file. Your user guide is inside it.
Download Crossword Puzzle Creator (ZIP)
The file opens in Google Drive. Click the download arrow at the top of the Drive page to save it to your computer. Works on Windows and Mac. Nothing to install, and no sign-up is needed to use the app.
Important: unzip the file before you use it
This is the one thing that trips people up. If you open the app straight from the ZIP file (for example from the Windows preview), it may not work properly.
- On Windows: right-click the ZIP file and choose Extract All, then open the new folder.
- On Mac: double-click the ZIP file. A new folder appears next to it.
- Keep all the files together in that folder. Don't move the app file out on its own.
Getting started in 4 steps
-
Unzip the download
Extract the ZIP file as shown above and open the folder you get.
-
Open the app
Double-click the file called index.html. It opens in your web browser (Chrome or Edge is recommended). The app itself works offline.
-
Try the sample book first
Click Load sample book. You'll see a finished 3-puzzle book and can download a test PDF in seconds, without using any AI. It's the quickest way to see what the app does.
-
Make your own book
The app has three colour-coded steps:
- Set up your book: type a title, choose how many puzzles, the age group and the page size, and add your topics (or tap "Fill with suggestions").
- Get your words from an AI: click "Copy prompt" and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok. The AI answers with words and clues.
- Paste the answer back: click "Build puzzles", check the pages, then click "Download PDF".

Password: KDPMOCKUP2026If you received an upgrade key
If you added an upgrade from the offers shown after checkout, you'll have received a key for it. Open the app, find the Upgrade key box at the bottom of the left-hand menu, paste your key there and confirm. Your upgrade then opens inside the app.
Didn't add an upgrade? You can ignore this section. Everything in the app that you bought today works without a key.
Good to know before you start
- You need an AI chat of your own. The app doesn't call an AI. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok all work. Check your AI service for its own plans and limits.
- Read every clue. AI clues can be wrong. Switch on "Show answers on preview" and check each clue and answer before you export. You're responsible for what's in your book.
- Three age levels. Choose Ages 6 to 7, 8 to 9 or 10 to 12. Each level builds puzzles with different difficulty.
- Built for KDP's interior rules. Margins, fonts and page count are set for you, and the "KDP check" shows what it found. KDP reviews every book itself.
- Making a big book? Build it in a few batches and use "Add to book" to put them together.
- Save your work. Use "Save book file" to keep a book and "Open book file" to come back to it later, even on another computer.
- Keep puzzles free of brand names and film, game or toy characters. KDP can reject books that use them.
- Selling on Etsy or TPT? You can also export PNG pages or the answer-key PDF. Check Etsy's and TPT's own rules for digital products and AI-generated content first.
