Mots & Mischief

Bilingual crossword books where every clue comes in two languages. Available now in English–French, in two age levels: Junior (5–8) and 8–12.

How it works

Every clue in two languages

Both directions

Some puzzles show the English word and ask for the French. Others flip it. A small EN → FR or FR → EN badge shows which way to go.

Built for kids

Capital letters only, no accents or articles to trip over, and a word bank on every page.

Self-checking

Answers are at the back, with each word shown in both languages.

Print or digital

Paperbacks for the shelf, or digital downloads (PDF) to print at home or fill in on a tablet or laptop.
