About this printable crossword word game

Crossword Game with Friends from PrintablePaper.net (Savetz Publishing) is a paper version of the classic tile-laying word game: a 15x15 board with double and triple letter and word squares, 100 letter tiles with point values (1 for an E, 10 for a Q or Z) and a page of rules. It plays like Scrabble, a trademark of Hasbro and Mattel, with which this template is not affiliated.

It suits holidays and classrooms, or anyone who wants a spare set. The tiles are small, so cut carefully and keep them in a bag.

How to use it

  1. Print the board and tiles; card stock is best for the tiles.
  2. Put the tiles face down in a bag; each player draws seven.
  3. The first word crosses the centre star; later words connect to tiles already played. Draw back to seven after each turn.
  4. Add tile values, apply letter bonuses before word bonuses, and play until the tiles run out.
