Make a crossword from your child's spelling list
Last updated: June 2026
In k5 Genie Crosswords, parents and kids type a list of words—or snap a spelling sheet—and the app builds a printable crossword grid with across and down clues.
Three ways to create
- Preset crosswords — Pick a ready-made pack (space words, animals, etc.).
- Type words — Enter this week's spelling list (e.g. "Space Words, Week 3 Spelling").
- Photo or file — Photograph a word list or upload a PDF; k5 Genie extracts words and builds the grid.
In the app
Open Word Work → Crosswords. Name your puzzle, generate, then open Current Crossword to play on screen or print. Saved puzzles live under My Crosswords.
Tap Ask Genie about a word on any clue for kid-friendly explanations—optional help while you stay side by side.
Bilingual version
Need English answers with clues in Hindi, Spanish, Gujarati, or another home language? Bilingual Crosswords in the Connect pillar—that combination is unique to k5 Genie among K–5 apps we track.
