Craft & Solve
Turn your people and inside jokes into a keepsake puzzle
Craft & Solve turns your names, dates, and inside jokes into a printable keepsake crossword or word search. Type words and clues, watch the grid build itself in a live preview, then pick from 36 background designs and four print sizes (US Letter to 36x24 poster). Pay once and a print-ready PDF bundle with answer key lands in your inbox. No account, no subscription. Popular for weddings, baby showers, and office game days.
Hey Product Hunt! I built Craft & Solve after making a crossword by hand for a friend's wedding. Guests hovered around it all cocktail hour, and I figured other people might want one without fighting a grid layout for a weekend.
How it works: type your words (names, dates, inside jokes) and a clue for each. The grid rebuilds itself live as you type, so you always see the real finished puzzle rather than a template mockup. Pick a background and print sizes, pay once, and a print-ready PDF bundle with an answer key lands in your inbox with a permanent download link. No account, no watermark, no subscription.
A detail I am quietly proud of: the browser preview and the server-side PDF renderer share the same layout engine, so the poster that arrives is exactly the puzzle you previewed.
I would love feedback, especially from anyone who has planned games for a wedding, shower, or office party. Happy to answer anything about the puzzle layout algorithm or running this solo.
