Math Crossword Puzzle – Genius Edition

Math Crossword Puzzle – Genius Edition borrows the shape of a crossword and fills it with arithmetic. Instead of words crossing each other, equations do: a row and a column can share a cell, so the number placed there has to satisfy both. Your task is to place the correct numbers into the right spots until every equation in the grid is true.

All four basic operations appear. The description names addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so one grid can ask you to juggle several kinds of calculation at once. That mix is what makes it feel like a logic puzzle rather than a worksheet: a sum with two possible answers on its own may have only one once the crossing equation is taken into account.

Each level is meant to be a rewarding challenge that sharpens your thinking, and the Genius Edition name sets expectations about difficulty. It works well for students who want arithmetic practice with a purpose, and for adults who enjoy number puzzles where checking your work is built into the grid itself.

1. Look at the grid and the equations running across and down.
2. Start with an equation that has only one empty spot.
3. Place the correct number, checking it against any crossing equation.
4. Fill every spot until all the equations are correct.

Multiplication and division usually narrow the options fastest, so solve those equations before the additions around them.
