How every fill-in is verified
Bank-to-slot match
All ten words are mapped to saved Across or Down slots and read back letter by letter.
Connected crossings
Every entry belongs to one connected grid, and every shared cell has one consistent letter.
Exactly one fill
A separate assignment solver tests the complete bank and rejects any puzzle with zero or multiple solutions.
How to solve
Begin with a rare word length, count a matching slot, and place the word. Cross off used words and use new crossing letters to narrow the remaining choices.

This page is deliberately no-clue. For numbered definitions and a standard Across/Down list, open the general collection.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fill-in crossword?
It is a no-clue crossword. You receive the complete word bank and deduce where each word belongs by length and crossing letters.
Do these puzzles have unique solutions?
Yes. Each final bank and grid is tested by an assignment solver and accepted only when exactly one complete fill exists.
Are answers included?
Yes. Pages 13–24 contain the filled versions of puzzles 1–12.
Use the starter word in Color Match
Puzzle 1 has ORANGE already placed vertically. Every word in its bank is used once; remove a used word from your remaining choices.
Hint 1: find a useful crossing
The six-cell Across slot in row 5 begins at column 3. Its third cell crosses the R in ORANGE, giving the pattern __R___. Count from the top-left cell of the square grid.
Hint 2: compare the six-letter bank
ORANGE is already used. The remaining six-letter options are PURPLE and SILVER. PURPLE has R in position 3; SILVER has L there. Write PURPLE and cross it off the bank.
Hint 3: use the next fixed letter
PURPLE ends with E. The five-cell Down slot ending at that E must use a five-letter bank word ending in E. WHITE fits; BROWN, GREEN, and BLACK do not. Write WHITE, then continue using the new crossings.
