Introducing Our Free Nutrition Crossword Puzzle Maker
Screens are everywhere — in the classroom, at the clinic, even at the health fair table next to yours. Sometimes the most effective teaching tool is the one that gets people to put their phones down and pick up a pencil. That's exactly what a good crossword puzzle does. The NY Times boasts that 10 million people play their puzzles each day, and to be honest, I love the minis!
We just launched a free Nutrition Crossword Puzzle Maker, and it's built for exactly that moment. Type in your own words and clues — whatever you're teaching that day, whether it's MyPlate food groups, hydration, label reading, or anything else — and the tool instantly builds a complete, interlocking crossword puzzle around them, numbered clues and all. There is even a field for you to type your name and/or company name so that it appears on your handout!
Once you make your puzzle, you can print it or save it as a PDF using your printer dialog.
A few ways educators are already using it:
Print and share in a classroom lesson as a screen-free way to reinforce vocabulary you just taught.
Print a batch for a wellness fair table — it's genuinely one of the best pieces of "swag" you can hand out, because people actually sit down and use it instead of tossing it in a bag.
Build one to match a presentation topic on the spot, no design skills or lead time required.
Print it as a takeaway handout after a nutrition counseling session so the lesson sticks around after the appointment ends.
It's free, it's fast, and it's genuinely yours every time — no two puzzles have to look the same, because you control every word and clue.
