Crosswords for Seniors and Older Adults

Many people are used to doing the crossword in the newspaper, pencil in hand and a cup of tea nearby, and that habit hasn't gone anywhere, it's just easy to carry on with it on a screen now. The crosswords for seniors on this page are made without trendy words or youth slang: clues are about nature, gardening, well-known actors, films that ran on TV for decades, cities, books and simple everyday things. Questions like these are a pleasure to answer, the word is usually close by, you only need to recall it. The main things are thought through: on a phone or tablet the squares can be enlarged, so letters are as easy to read as in large print crosswords, even for people with weaker eyesight. These crosswords for older adults can also be printed in one click, and children or grandchildren can easily help put together a stack of sheets for the week ahead. If a word just won't come back, a hint will help, and the checker shows right away whether everything is filled in correctly. Solving puzzles is often described as simple exercise for memory and attention, and it's a good reason to spend an evening on something calm and worthwhile.
