# How do I make a crossword with an answer key?

Updated 17 September 2026

Type each answer with its clue, and the generator interlocks them into a numbered grid, then prints the puzzle on page one and the filled solution with the clue list on page two. No sign-up.

Enter one clue per line as `ANSWER: clue`. The [free crossword generator](https://www.oncebooks.com/tools/crossword-generator) numbers the entries across and down, then prints the puzzle and a full answer key you can check against.

For a whole graded book, [Publisher Studio](https://www.oncebooks.com/kdp-crossword-maker) drafts a clue bank with AI and lays out a matching solutions section, at any standard trim.
