This page opens a crossword with the print window already on top, so a fresh sheet is one click away. Any crossword can go to paper: the daily crossword, an easy, hard or kids grid, or your own crossword made from any words. The sheet is black on white and fits A4 or Letter: the title, the empty grid with its numbers, both clue lists and a line for your name and the date. Tick Answer sheet to add a second page with every answer filled in, handy for a class or a puzzle evening. Your letters on the screen are not printed, so you can solve online first and still print a clean copy. All crosswords of the game are about animals; only your own can use other words.
How to play
Every answer is an animal. Tap a square and read its clue on the label above the keyboard, then type the answer; the cursor moves along the answer and skips the squares already filled. Tap the same square again, or the label, to switch between across and down. A square where two answers cross belongs to both. Help can check or reveal a letter, an answer or the whole grid as often as you like, and the crossword is solved when every square holds the right letter.

New to crosswords? Each numbered answer has a clue in the Across or Down list. Tap a square of the answer, type the animal, and the letters land along the answer; a square where two answers cross belongs to both.
