Choosing a christmas puzzle

Find a subject you enjoy

Choose Christmas for familiar festive objects in large print. Christmas Treats turns to foods, drinks and baking ingredients. Christmas Traditions is a longer, harder search through decorations and seasonal customs. The three word lists and frozen boards are distinct, so you can choose a subject as well as a format.

Choose the right format

The two Large Print puzzles have 14 words in a 14 × 14 grid, with a visible list and forward across-and-down paths. Traditions has 24 words in a 22 × 22 Hard grid, with all eight directions and no online target list. The printed sheet includes its list in either format.

Use it on paper or with a group

Select a paper size and download the puzzle and separate answer sheet before a gathering, a quiet holiday break or a group activity. Words include both secular and religious Christmas references; customs vary between households and places. Choose what suits your group, with no assumption that everyone celebrates in the same way.
