Frequently asked questions

What is a word fit puzzle?+

A word fit — also called a fill-in or kriss-kross — is like a crossword with no clues. You're given a word bank and a blank interlocking grid, and you work out where each word goes by matching lengths and crossing letters.

Is the word fit maker free?+

Yes. Build, play, print and download word fit puzzles for free — no account or signup required.

Can I use my own words?+

Yes. Type or paste any word list and the tool interlocks the words into a crossing grid with a word bank grouped by length. Great for spelling lists, themes and classrooms.

Why didn't one of my words fit?+

Fill-in grids only place words that can cross another word at a shared letter. If a word can't interlock, it's listed as not placed — press Rearrange or add words that share common letters.

How do I print it with the answer key?+
