Film & TV Crossword Puzzles
Screen puzzles work because everyone has watched something. The trick is keeping the clues broad enough that a grid isn't just a test of whether you saw a particular film, so these lean on genres, roles, formats and the technical vocabulary — GAFFER, RUSHES, PILOT, SEQUEL — as much as on titles themselves.
There is a deliberate British tilt here: soaps, panel shows and the long-running series that everyone has an opinion about, sitting alongside cinema from further afield. A new puzzle arrives each week, older ones stay in the archive, and all of them are free to solve in a browser with the timer running. If you would rather do it on paper, the print view puts the blank grid and the clue list on a single A4 sheet.

Common questions
- Are these crosswords free?
- Yes, all of them. You can solve every puzzle in the archive in your browser without paying and without making an account. There are ads on the free site, and a small supporter option if you would rather not see them.
- How often are new puzzles added?
- One new puzzle in each theme every week, and the older ones stay in the archive on the same page rather than disappearing.
- Can I print the puzzles?
- Yes. Every puzzle has a print view that lays the empty grid and the clues out on A4, with a separate answer sheet, so you can run off a copy for each person.
- Can I make my own film or TV crossword?
- Yes. Type in your own words — a favourite series, a film club season, or a quiz night round — write a clue for each one, and the grid arranges itself around them. It takes about five minutes, and you get a link you can send to anyone, plus a printable version.
