Who we are
Crosswords with a curriculum behind them
edcrosswords is a small editorial team of teachers, ESL specialists, and lifelong puzzle nerds. We build crossword books that teach something — vocabulary, science, history, English — without losing the satisfaction of a great solve.
Every puzzle starts with a curriculum standard or a real-world vocabulary need. We draft word lists with educators, fill the grids by hand (no AI shortcuts), and stress-test each puzzle with students before it ships.
We sell our books two ways: as instant-download PDFs from this site, and as paperbacks on Amazon. Pick whichever works best for your classroom or commute.
