About Black Cat Grids

At Black Cat Grids, we create crosswords and word search puzzles for all ages — from nostalgic retro-themed challenges to playful activities designed to help younger children build literacy skills.

Our collection includes:

Retro puzzles, such as 1980s-themed word searches, perfect for adults who enjoy a dose of nostalgia and relaxed brain engagement
Child-friendly puzzles that support reading, spelling, and confidence through familiar vocabulary and fun topics

Puzzles are more than entertainment — they’re valuable tools for focus, memory, and cognitive development. Word searches, in particular, help younger users improve language recognition, while offering adults a mindful, screen-free way to unwind.

We release new puzzle books every month, all available as instant downloads. Each book is provided as a high-quality PDF you can print at home or use on your tablet with a stylus.
