Free crosswords for small newsletters?

April 3, 2008 10:06 AM

I'm putting together a company newsletter and am looking for freely licensed and printable crossword and sudoku puzzles that I could put in the newsletter.

I've seen plenty of links here and elsewhere to good web-based crosswords and even crossword generation software, but I'm looking for something freely available to use (my budget on this is $0), printable (or even better, something I can copy&paste so I can drop it right in my publishing software), and premade (I don't want to spend valuable time working these things up, and the thought of a company-themed crossword makes me cringe). Any leads or ideas? Also, the same but for Sudoku?

The first link on google for "sudoku generator" is this. It outputs PDFs, that should be perfect for you.

I have used puzzle-maker.com in the past to create printable crossword puzzles.

Sudoku by Gaby Vanhegan (who is/was a mefi member) supports free syndication, although the link currently 404s. You can contact him onthis page.
