PA Entertainment has a crossword for every situation - from easy quicks to the most tricky. All of the formats below are available as cost-effective, syndicated options:
Coffee-Time Crossword: ideal for the busy commuter - with simple clues, it should take about 10 minutes to solve.
Quick Crossword: The perfect break-time crossword, with one or two-word clues, takes about 20 minutes to complete. The compact design means it takes up the minimum space in your publication.
Cryptic Crossword: As the first ever company to offer cryptic crosswords, we recognise that the quality of a cryptic puzzle is in the clues. Our team of compilers is truly expert (several are on the panels of the quality nationals, including the Times and the Daily Telegraph).
Jumbo Crossword: Size matters! Our standard-size crosswords are compiled on a 13-square grid, the bigger Jumbo puzzles on a 19-square grid. It is an excellent novelty crossword that's fun to do as well as offering more of a challenge (there are around twice the clues of a standard crossword).
Double Crossword: means double value for both you and your readers. Our standard double format offers both quick and cryptic crosswords in one puzzle. It has two grids, which means readers can do both cryptic and quick puzzles. The grids are the same, but the solutions are different.
Two Speed Crossword: This has cryptic clues and quick clues for the same solutions. Your readers can start off on the cryptic clues, but switch to the quick clues if they're having trouble.
Super Cryptic: If your readers are looking for more of a challenge from their crossword, try our Super Cryptic puzzle. This comes on a slightly larger grid (15 squares, compared to the standard 13) so it has more clues. The puzzle is ideal for newspapers wanting a more demanding puzzle on a daily basis, a prize crossword or for use as a "Difficult Weekender".
Skeleton Crossword: is a puzzle for the crossword connoisseur. As well as solving the cryptic clues in the skeleton crossword, the black squares and clue numbers must also be filled in.
General Knowledge Crossword: Our General Knowledge Crossword combines the popularity of quizzes and crosswords in a puzzle that's sure to be a hit with your readers. It's fun to do and informative as well.
Codeword: The Codeword is a crossword without clues. Each space contains a number, which relates to a letter of the alphabet. Readers are given three letters to start them off. They fill these letters in and then start to work out words. The more letters you guess the easier it becomes, but those first few words are so hard to get!
