Notice: The puzzles shown below are now printed in two pieces. Customers wanted the option of mounting the puzzle itself in one location, and the clue list in another location. Cutting the rather unwieldy puzzle at home or in the office with scissors proved cumbersome (and maddening). The puzzle graphic and the clue list now ship on two separate sheets. They may still be mounted together, or separately, as desired.

Puzzles are approximately 42 x 70 inches. During the payment process select media (dry-erase or poster paper). Input your words and clues in the form below. We suggest a minimum of 20 words, and a maximum of 200. Note that the more words you use, the tighter the puzzle will be packed, with more intersecting words and smaller squares and clue text as well. Fewer words will result in fewer cross-connected words, and larger square sizes as well as larger text for the clues. See examples above.

Poster paper puzzles may only be used once (unless you plan to complete them in pencil or some other erasable marker). Puzzles printed on dry-erase media may be completed over and over, pretty-much forever. Please note our suggestions regarding dry-erase media (at the bottom of this page).We accept MasterCard and VISA, etc..

What kind of dry-erase pen or marker should
I use if I choose dry-erase media??
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of dry-erase markers available in every drug store and office supply depot. Most fall into two categories:
(1) Slightly more durable, harder to erase
(2) Less durable, very easy to eraseThe "Sanford" brand dry erase markers are designed in such a way as to not easily brush off if someone accidentally touches the board with a piece of clothing. Many dry-erase removal products are on the market -- the Sanford brand pens and markers generally require the use of one of these products for complete removal. Isopropyl alcohol will also remove Sanford brand markers (be careful not to let alcohol or any other fluid come in contact with the back side of the media). Most commercial dry-erase removal products are alcohol-based. Remember, alcohol is FLAMMABLE (it's used as fuel in dragsters). Keep away from flames and heat sources!
Marks-a-Lot dry-erase markers (by Avery) can be removed with any soft cloth -- no remover required. We suggest using only this marker.
About Mounting:
Customers report good results with this method. Since we have not
tested it, this method of mounting is not warranted by TrixiePixGraphics.
We don't sell posterboard or foamboard due to the absolutely outrageous cost of shipping. A piece of poster-sized foamboard, for instance, which might weight less than a Big Mac, costs between $30 and $100 simply for shipping. We find this downright insulting! Foamboard-type backings may be found at most office supply stores (i.e. Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, etc.) for between $3.80 and $13 (at last check). To mount your dry-erase product try these tips:
Use 3M Super 77 adhesive and mount poster to cardboard or foam core board.
1st: Cut board to size
2nd: Surround board with newspaper from below so overspray doesn't get on floor or table
3rd: Spray mounting board, keeping can 6-8 inches away
4th: Roll poster onto board, left to right, aligning short edge and bottom edge
5th: Use dry eraser to smooth poster
**Be careful to not get glue on front of poster.
(3M spray is at Home Depot for about $10.00)**Note about dry-erase media: Facing side of this media is nearly indestructible. The back side, however, which is the printed side, is extremely susceptible to water, liquids, even the oils on your hands. In the shop we wear cotton gloves when handling. Do not scratch or abrade the back side. It should (!) go without saying that you should never use your dry-erase marker on the back side of this media. Only mark on the front (smooth/glossy) side. It should (!) also go without saying that only dry-erase pens be used on dry-erase media. Any other type of pen or marker will not be removable.
