Large-Print Winter and Holiday Crosswords: 40 Puzzles with Answer Keys

A large-print crossword book for the person who likes a crossword on a winter evening, and for the family member, friend or activity coordinator who wants to hand one over. It has 40 puzzles, with the clues and the numbers in 18-point type and big squares you can write in with a pencil.

The puzzles run in three groups: 12 easy (everyday words), 16 medium and 12 harder (no everyday words from the easy puzzles; more of the less common ones, such as BOBSLED, TUNDRA and PLEIADES). No answer is used twice anywhere in the book, and no answer is another form of one (a singular and its plural, for example). Each puzzle's title tells you what its answers are about: winter weather and snow play, warm clothes, Christmas, foods and the kitchen, cozy rooms, woods and animals, farms and villages of the old days, radio, television and movies, music, card and board games, the night sky and the new year. Each puzzle takes two pages: the grid on one page and the clues on the next, with the number of letters shown after every clue. All 40 answer grids are printed together at the back, four to a page.

These are free-form crosswords. Shaded squares belong to no answer. A little under a quarter of the letters are shared by an across word and a down word, so some letters sit in one word only. Every grid and clue is original to this book. The clues are plain definitions and facts, and the answers are ordinary words, with American spelling. The book has 92 pages and prints on US Letter or A4.

Every grid was read back by a computer program, and the numbered words it found match the clues and the printed answer key.

This printable was created with the help of AI tools, then checked fact by fact.
