It’s simple: We made a bunch of crosswords. If you donate to a cancer-related charity, you get all of them.

To date, we’ve raised

$9,204

spread across

40

different cancer-related charities.

Thank you so much for your support!

All 16 of the puzzles in this bundle are “contest-style” crosswords, also known as “metas” or “metapuzzles.” If you’ve never heard of these before, see this intro series from the Wall Street Journal.

Within the bundle, most grids and metas are easy-to-medium in terms of difficulty. Constructors were asked to submit puzzles that they believed most people would be able to solve.

Puzzles in the bundle are provided in PUZ and PDF formats. There are no online solving options.

Step 1: Make an online donation to any cancer-related 501(c)(3). Our suggested donation is $13, but you can donate any amount you’d like. If you’re not sure where to donate, scroll down to see a list of suggested charities provided by the contributors.

Step 2: Forward the emailed receipt from your donation to CrosswordsForCancer@gmail.com. We encourage you to remove any sensitive information before sending it to us.

Step 3: Within 24 hours, we’ll reply to your email with all of the puzzles and a thank-you message. (We are low-tech here, so each of these replies will be sent manually. We appreciate your patience and understanding).

All of these organizations have 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator. These organizations are only suggestions - we accept donations to any cancer-related 501(c)(3) organizations, including those not listed here.
