Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to create fun and engaging puzzles! Whether you want to make a printable activity for kids, a romantic-themed puzzle for your partner, or an interactive game for your audience, a Valentine’s crossword puzzle is a great way to spread the love.

In this post, I’ll show you how to easily create a custom Valentine’s crossword puzzle using A Book Creator’s Crossword Puzzle Tool—and then take it into Canva to add beautiful themed graphics. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Generate Your Crossword Clues with ChatGPT

Before we start building the crossword, we need a list of words and clues. You can create your own or use ChatGPT to speed up the process.

Try this prompt in ChatGPT:
“I am creating a Valentine’s Day crossword puzzle. I need 10 clues/answer pairs. Put them in a table with the first column the number, the second column the clue, and the third column the answer.”

Cut and paste the table generated by ChatGPT into a spreadsheet to make it easy to cut and paste them into the Crossword Puzzle Tool. Now that we have our words and clues, let’s turn them into a crossword puzzle!

Step 2: Create the Crossword Puzzle in A Book Creator

Using A Book Creator’s Crossword Puzzle Tool, you can quickly generate a custom crossword puzzle. Here’s how:

1. Go to A Book Creator and open the Crossword Puzzle Tool.
2. Enter your words and clues into the designated fields.
3. Customize the puzzle by selecting fonts, grid size, layout, and colors.
4. Click the refresh button to preview your puzzle.
5. Click the download button to download your puzzle as a PDF.
6. Use the Convert PDF to PowerPoint Tool to convert your PDF to a PPT file.

Step 3: Enhance Your Puzzle with Valentine’s Graphics in Canva
