What makes a crossword easy

  • Familiar words. Short, everyday words such as SPOON, RABBIT or WINDOW, with no abbreviations.
  • Direct clues. Each clue is a simple definition, for example "It keeps food cold", with no wordplay.
  • One theme per puzzle. Knowing the theme, such as the kitchen or the weather, narrows down the possible answers.
  • The number of letters. It is shown after each clue, so you can check your answer before writing it.

Easy crossword puzzles for seniors

These puzzles fit on a single page, with large squares and clues printed in 12 point type. Print the PDF at full page size to keep everything easy to read. The words come from daily life: the kitchen, the garden, the house, the weather, animals and travel.

Start with puzzles 1 to 3, which have 10 words each, then try puzzles 4 to 6 with 12 words.

Tips to solve an easy crossword

  • Read all the clues first and fill in the answers you know right away.
  • Use the crossing letters: each word you find gives you a letter of another word.

  • Write in pencil, so you can correct an answer easily.
