Frequently Asked Questions
Is CrossVocab really free?
Yes! During our public beta, CrossVocab is completely free. No credit card, no hidden fees, no time limits. We want you to try it and tell us what you think.
How is this better than flashcards?
Flashcards test passive recognition — you see the answer and think "I knew that." Crosswords force active recall — you have to produce the answer from context clues. Research shows active recall leads to significantly better long-term retention.
Can I use it for my language class?
Absolutely. Paste your vocabulary list with translations, and our AI generates crossword puzzles from it. Works for any language pair — French, Spanish, Japanese, you name it.
