Make a crossword with clues and answers, written with AI
Give a lesson topic or type your own words. AI picks the words, writes the clues across and down, shows where they cross, and gives the answers as a separate list.
Prompt sent to the chat: «Make a crossword on the topic “Ancient Egypt” (history, grade 5) with 10 words: nouns in their base form, no repeats. Clues are short definitions a pupil in this grade would understand. For each word give its number, its direction (across or down) and a letter it shares with another word. Show the grid as text: letters in the cells, dots on the empty squares. Put the answers in a separate list at the end.»

Make a crossword from your own words: 5, 10 or 15 words
AI places words from a textbook paragraph or an answer list on the grid and writes clues for them. Three rules help the words cross.
- 5–7 words
- A warm-up at the start of a lesson, a task for primary school, a crossword with 3 clues for a card
- 10 words
- A typical homework of “at least 10 words” – fits on half a sheet
- 15–20 words
- Revising a whole topic or section; it is better to take words of different lengths
- 25–30 words
- A big crossword for a subject week; ask to split it into two parts
A long word in the centre
The longest word is the spine; the others attach to it.
More common letters
Words with A, E, I, O, R, N cross easily. If a word does not fit, AI suggests a synonym or a replacement.
Answers in the base form
Singular: “pyramid”, not “pyramids”.
A crossword set for homework: do it yourself, and let AI check it
Crosswords are set to revise terms. Choose the words yourself, and ask for help with the clues and the check – in class you can explain every word.
Help with the clues
List the words from a paragraph – AI suggests two versions of a clue for each, and you pick one and rewrite it in your own words.

For a teacher – a crossword for the whole class on the lesson topic: ask for two versions at once and an answer sheet for checking. For younger children – short words and simple clues: “make a crossword with 5 words for grade 2, clues on one line each”.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a crossword on a topic with AI?
In the form, pick “By topic”, enter the topic, subject and grade, set the number of words and send the request to the chat. AI picks the words, writes the clues across and down, shows the crossings and gives the answers as a separate list.
Can I make a crossword online from my own words?
Yes, that is the “From my words” mode: type the words separated by commas and the topic of the clues. AI places them on shared letters, and if a word does not fit, it suggests a replacement. A crossword from ready answers taken from a textbook is made the same way.
Will AI draw the crossword grid?
It gives the scheme as text: letters in the cells, dots on the empty squares, the numbers and directions of the words. AI does not draw a picture for printing.
How many words can I take: 5, 10, 15?
As many as you need – from 3 clues up to 25–30 words. For an assignment of “at least 10 words”, choose 10; for a large crossword, ask to split it into two parts.
A grade 5 history crossword was set for homework – will AI do it for me?
It can, but it is more useful another way: choose the words from the paragraph yourself, and ask AI for help with the clues or to check a finished crossword. That way the terms stick, and in class you will have something to say if the teacher asks what a word means.
Can I make a crossword in English?
Yes: say that the answers should be in English, and the clues in Russian or in English too.
