About these puzzles
These change every morning. Five fresh printables a day — today’s whole pack, today’s word search, today’s crossword, today’s anagram puzzle and today’s logic puzzle. Every one of them comes with its answers.
Each button opens the sheets already typeset large, with a Print button on the page. If you would rather keep the file than print it now, press Print and choose Save as PDF where the print box asks where to send it.
Here is the day's printable set. Send it to a home printer on plain A4 or letter paper; the answer key is included.
Not near a printer? The same crossword plays here on screen, in the same large type.
Paper still wins for a lot of people, and there is nothing wrong with that. A sheet does not run out of battery, it does not need a password, and you can leave it on the kitchen table half-finished for two days.
These print on ordinary paper from an ordinary home printer. The grid is laid out large, the clues are set at reading size in one column, and the answer key comes with it rather than living on some other page you have to go and find.
What this is, in plain words
- No ads. The sheet is the puzzle. Nothing is printed around it, so you are not spending your own ink on somebody's advertising.
- No download needed to play. You do not have to print anything at all — the same crossword plays on screen if you would rather. Printing is a choice here, not the only way in.
- Large print. The printed grid and the printed clues are both enlarged. Print at one hundred percent scale and it comes out the size it was designed to be.
- With answers. The answer key is part of the pack. Print it with the puzzle, or leave that page in the tray until somebody gets stuck.
- To play alone. One sheet, one pen, no timer and nobody watching. Equally, one sheet works for two people over a table.
- No sign up. No account, no email address, no marketing list. The print page is a public page — open it and press print.

Common questions
What do I need to print one?
Any home printer and plain paper. Black and white is fine — the sheets are designed to read as dark ink on white paper, so a colour cartridge is never required. Print at one hundred percent rather than fit-to-page, or the type comes out smaller than intended.
Are the answers on the same sheet?
The answer key is a separate page in the same printout, so you can hand over the puzzle without handing over the solution. Print both and keep the second page aside until it is needed.
Can I print several at once?
Yes. The daily pack collects the day's puzzles into one printout, and past days can be printed from the archive, so you can build up a folder of them in a few minutes.
Is there a charge, or a limit?
Neither. There is no paywall, no daily limit and no account. You are welcome to print them for a care home, a library, a classroom or a relative.
