Grid Genius: Crossword Maker

Make a crossword about anything. Solve a fresh one every day.

Grid Genius is a crossword maker and a daily puzzle in one. Type a topic and the crossword generator builds a playable puzzle about it, create your own word by word, or just settle in with the daily crossword and a library of themed puzzles.

MAKE A CROSSWORD ABOUT ANYTHING
Pick a topic like Italian Cooking, Space Exploration, or 90s Music, choose the size and difficulty, and get a custom crossword about it. Your first few AI builds are free.

BUILD IT WORD BY WORD
The Word Builder is a full crossword creator: lay out your own words, write your own clues, and add a backup hint to any word so stuck solvers see your hint first, shown as the maker's hint.

SHARE IT, PRINT IT, WATCH IT GET SOLVED
Your puzzles live on your Home screen with play counts. Share one with a link, or export a printable PDF for solving on paper. Scan the QR code on any printed crossword and it opens right back in Grid Genius.
