- Save-as-you-go editing

What does it cost?
A subscription to make unlimited crosswords costs $5/month, or $4.25/month when billed annually. You can try it free for 30 days before deciding if you want to subscribe. Click the green 'Make Printable' button at the top left of the page when you are ready. Individual crosswords can also be purchased for special events.
Many things on the internet are free. Why not this?
In general, it’s possible to be the best or the cheapest but not both. We chose to be the best. We respect that many people prefer the cheapest, and this may not be the site for them. But if you want the best, you’ve come to the right place.
Do you have a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you are not satisfied for any reason, you can have a full refund.
How do I print?
Click the green 'Make Printable' button in the top left of the page when you are ready. You will be prompted to create an account if you haven’t already, and then see payment options. Once paid, you will have a big green 'Preview + Publish' button that will put your crossword puzzle in a format that can be printed or solved online.
Can my crossword be solved and submitted online?
Yes. After publishing your puzzle, you can choose to accept online submissions for it. Teachers use this to give crosswords to students online.

What is BrightSprout?
Since we built the crossword builder in 2012, we’ve continued to add more and more builders for teachers to create materials for their students. Now, over ten years later, we’ve added four more builders and felt it was time to get more organized (we all get Folder Fever sometimes).
We’ve renamed our company BrightSprout to better represent the diverse builders we create and to simplify your experience on our sites.
