Frequently Asked Questions

Are these English crosswords free?

Yes. The English crossword generator is completely free, needs no signup, and works on desktop and mobile. Each puzzle is built from curated CEFR-leveled English decks, with the English translation as the clue and the English word as the answer.

What level are the English crossword puzzles?

You choose: any single CEFR level from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery), or "Any level" for a mixed puzzle. Every answer comes from a level-graded deck, so an A1 puzzle only uses beginner vocabulary.

How do English accents and special letters work in the grid?

Each letter takes one cell and the grid is accent-insensitive: type the base letters and the correct accented spelling is shown on reveal. This keeps the puzzle playable on any keyboard.

Can I share a English crossword with a friend?

Yes — every puzzle has a "Challenge a friend" link that reproduces the exact same crossword for them, same words and same grid.

Can I make crosswords from my own English word lists?

Yes — create a free Words on Repeat account, build or import a deck, and Crossword becomes one of the quiz games for any deck. The public tool uses curated decks so you can play without signing up.
