For I can't even tell you how many years, my husband has done the "Daily Mini" in The New York Times (it's their version of a bite-sized daily crossword puzzle . He is a crossword puzzle devourer. And would probably give his left arm to meet and visit with Will Shortz (the well-known creator of these famous word puzzles). So, I couldn't let a Fun and Games series go by without creating a set of printable crosswords, in honor of my husband's love of these puzzles. This one is totally summertime. It's a fun way for both kids and adults to enjoy a rainy day (or anytime, really). Download these Free Printable Crosswords below, grab a pencil and a bit of brain power and get going!


Themed Crossword Puzzles

Crossword Puzzles Printable with Answers

This Crossword Puzzles Printable with Answers has the same outer design as my free printable summer bucket list. I just loved this design so much that I had to use it again. It was such a blast to create, so I wanted to give it a bit more mileage.

This is actually just one crossword puzzle, but it has three different printing options. Pictured above is the black and white version.
  • I created a full-color design with all the fun summer elements (in watercolor) bordering the puzzle. If you're doing a themed party or similar, this one is perfect.
  • The black and white version is great for kids to color, as well as solve the actual puzzle. It's also a bit of an ink-saver, in terms of printing at home.
  • The third puzzle is just the actual puzzle, with no design. I know that this is probably a good option if you're just in it for the puzzle-solving. It's just in black and white.
  • I've also included an answer key. If you prefer not to print it out, I listed out the answers below for you.
