Simply write your words out, one letter in each square. You can write them across, down, diagonally, or even backwards. Then, fill in the rest of the puzzle with random letters. Now it\u2019s ready to solve! You can make these for your child or they can have a go at creating their own for their friends to solve instead.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading aofl-mb-3rem-padding aofl-advice-subheading\" id=\"crossword\"><strong>35.<\/strong> <strong>Craft a Crossword Puzzle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-mb-3rem-padding has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#01075f;line-height:1.5\">Crossword puzzles can be a little more challenging to create, since the goal is to have words overlap in multiple places. Still, graph paper can make the process a bit easier. Once the words are in place, number the squares and develop the clues for each one. Finally, make a blank version of the grid for your player to solve.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image mini-reg-modal\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
