Types of printable crosswords

Often, when people hear the term crossword, what generally comes to mind is a square-shaped ground divided into smaller squares, arranged vertically and horizontally, that stand for letters, with the first of each word being numbered. The clues to each word are given within the puzzle.

alpha-cross: The first letter of each word is written next to the clue that pertains to it, in alphabetical order, and one is already placed on the grid.

arrows: Each square with a clue is colored, and an accompanying arrow indicates whether the answer goes across or down.

code words: A random number from 1 to 26 is used to represent each letter of the alphabet, and each letter is used at least once. A certain number of letters may already be in place.

criss-cross: Each answer intersects with one and only one other answer, and one, if any, box per word is highlighted; together the highlighted letters form another word.

cross-wise: No numbers are given, so the player must use his or her powers of deduction to solve the clues, which describe words with a given number of letters in either orientation, e. g. “One of the two horizontal seven-letter words is part of a bird’s wing and the other is the stomach.”

diagramless: The diagram is not given. Instead, the row and column at which the first clue begins are indicated.

word search: This is really different from a crossword puzzle because the words are already there, but they are surrounded by other letters that are not a part of them and the player has to locate them.

grid jigs: These start with a blank grid and a set of sub-grids, each with some letters and blank spaces on it. The object of this type of game is to put the pieces back together by filling in all the letters and blank spaces in their correct spaces in the grid.

The puzzle does not always take the form of a square grid. It may take on any number of other shapes, including an octagon with the sides resembling staircases, a diamond shape or a triangle. There are a number of variations on this theme featured, listed below:
