Tips for a good crossword

Use 8 to 14 words: enough to fill the grid, short enough to finish in class.
Write single words with no spaces; for “ice cream”, use “icecream” or choose another word.
Make clues short and clear. Students should know the answer, not guess what you meant.
Let AI fill it in from a topic, then edit the clues to match your class.
