A gift they can hold
A Crossword for Grandma or Grandpa, Made From the Things They Love
A puzzle that says you know them: their music, their shows, their garden, their teams. Print it and pop it in the mail, or send the link in an email.
Your first crossword is free. No account needed to try.
It's the thought — the actual thought
Grandparents are famously hard to shop for — they have the thing, they don't need the thing. What they rarely get is something that shows you've been paying attention. A crossword built from their favorite subjects does exactly that, and gives them a happy half hour with a pencil.
Personal, not generic
Made for the mail
No tech required
A pencil, a stamp, and a good story to tell
Think about what they love to talk about: the music from their courting days, the teams they never give up on, the shows they never miss, the garden, the grandchildren, the crosswords they already race through. Pick those subjects and we build a real crossword around them.
Add a personal note that appears with the puzzle — something simple like "This one's about you." Then print it, fold it into a card, and send it. If you live far away, emailing the link works the same way; they can solve it online or print it themselves.

Questions
My grandparents don't really use computers. Can they still enjoy this?
- Yes. Every crossword has a print-friendly page, so you can print it and mail it or tuck it into a card. No account or app is needed to open or solve the puzzle.
What should I put in as their interests?
- The subjects they actually love: the music they grew up with, their favorite shows, sports teams, cooking, birds, bingo, the garden — anything they light up talking about. Clues come from those interests, not private details about their lives.
Will it be too hard for them?
- You choose the difficulty. Easy puzzles are friendlier for occasional solvers, and every clue includes a hint, so nobody gets stuck on a word they don't know.
Can I make one for Grandma and a different one for Grandpa?
- Absolutely. Each puzzle is built from that person's own interests, so you can make two puzzles with completely different subjects and difficulty levels.
