The apparent deflection of moving air, as seen by
an observer on Earth, is a result of Earth's rotation
The change from gas state to liquid state.
A view from space
The best science teacher ever
A map or chart that shows the weather conditions
at a specific point in time over a specific region
Global air circulation patterns within the atmosphere
held to Earth by gravity and warmed as heat radiates
from Earth; influenced by convection of warm less dense
air (rises and spreads out) and cold dense air (sinks).
Amount of water vapor or moisture content in air.
A line on a map that connects points
with the same elevation.
Bodies of air extending over large areas
(1,000 miles or more) that develop and retain specific
characteristics of pressure, temperature, and humidity.
A specific set of weather conditions occurring
in the lowest levels of the atmosphere,
reflecting the configuration of air movement.
The change from liquid state to gas state.
A large, tropical weather system consisting of an
extremely low pressure air mass with heavy rains and
wind speeds of at least 119km/h.
A map showing changes in
elevation of Earth’s surface.
Erosion caused by the weather
Forms at the surface of Earth when a warm, moist air
mass overtakes a cool, dense, and dryer air mass.
Down
A directional movement of ocean water; surface
currents result from steady winds over the ocean
surface; deep currents result from density variations
due to temperature and salinity differences.
An air mass with less atmospheric pressure
than the surrounding air masses; air moves toward the
low pressure, traveling in a counter-clockwise direction.
The force exerted by the atmosphere on Earth’s
surface by the weight of the air above the
surface.
A form of energy internal to matter as the total kinetic
energy (motion) of atoms and molecules in matter. The
faster the atoms move, the warmer the matter.
Forms at the surface of Earth when a cold, dry air
mass overtakes a warmer, humid air mass.
Transfer of thermal energy through circular
motion caused by heating and cooling in fluids
(liquids and gases).
Occurs when solid fragments of weathered rock
are eroded (moved) and then dropped into
a new place by wind, water, ice, and gravity.
A natural movement of air sometimes with
considerable force from an area of high density
and pressure to an area of low density and
pressure.
The mechanical or chemical processes
that break rocks into smaller pieces and
sometimes change the chemical composition .
Indicates the height to which
something is relative to sea level.
The process by which water, ice, wind, and
gravity remove and transport sediments
from one place to another.

Where is my puzzle?
All your puzzles are accessible from your 'My Puzzles' page, which you can access using the navigation bar at the top when you are logged in.
Be sure to log in using the same email address you used when you created your puzzle.
How do I print?
There is a 'Make Printable' button on the top left of your puzzle that will let you sign up for a plan or purchase a single puzzle.
Once paid, that button will turn into a 'Preview + Publish' button that will put your puzzle in a format that can be printed or solved online.
Once you publish your puzzle, you can click the print icon or use your browser’s print function.
It looks weird when printed.
First make sure you’ve published your puzzle. See the 'How do I print?' section above for more information.
99% of other printing issues have to do with printer settings. Instead of trying to fiddle with printer settings, which can be time-consuming and frustrating, there are a couple workarounds you can try.
You can try printing from a different browser, since different browsers have different default print settings. Alternately, you can try saving as a PDF (next to the print icon) and print that.
Why isn’t this free?
We invested in building a number of premium features that free sites are unable to offer: the ability to automatically or manually add words to your puzzle, save-as-you-go puzzle editing, the ability to access your puzzles from any computer, an uncluttered and ad-free interface, the ability for friends and colleagues to solve your puzzles online, and quick responsiveness to reported issues.
My Crossword Maker is the lowest-price service we've found that provides these features, and is designed for people who are not satisfied with what free sites are able to provide.
I thought this was free.
We’re sorry you thought My Crossword Maker was free, that must have been frustrating.
We’re constantly trying to provide a clear and straightforward user experience, and we’re not trying to hide the price: on the page where you make your puzzle, the price is listed in the overview in the top left (before you log in), below the 'Make Printable' button (after you log in), in the FAQ below the grid, and also in the tour.
Unfortunately, we have limited control over how we show up in Google and on other sites, so if they show My Crossword Maker when someone searches for a free site we can’t do anything about that.
It says there is no account with my email.
First check whether you used a different email address to create your account. Your login email is the email address where you received a welcome email from us.
Alternately, it’s possible there was a typo in your email when you created your account. If so, report an issue below and provide the name and last four digits on the card you used when you signed up. We’ll use this information to track down your account.
I am being asked to pay a second time.
If you are a member of My Crossword Maker and are still being asked for payment, then you may have inadvertently created a second account.
Your paid account will have the email address where you received an email confirming your subscription.
If you never received such an email, or are still unable to find your paid account, report an issue below and provide the name and last four digits on the card you used when you signed up. We’ll use this information to track down your account.
My password reset isn’t working.
For security a human can’t see or reset your password, so read the below information carefully.
If you haven’t gotten the password reset email, check your spam folder, be sure you’re checking the email account that the email was sent to, and be aware that some school email systems block emails from non-school email addresses.
If you have the password reset email but the password isn’t accepted, be sure you are using the most recent password reset email: sometimes people will hit the button twice, and only the second password will work.
Be sure if you copy-paste the password not to get a space on the outside, or if you're typing it keep in mind that it's case-sensitive and that a lower-case L can look like the number 1, etc.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel your subscription from your 'My Account' page, which you can access using the navigation bar at the top when you are logged in.
Support representatives cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf.
Not all my words are in my puzzle.
When you hit the 'Arrange' button, our algorithm will try to arrange all your words on the grid, and will move words around to try to fit the most words.
This will get all the words on the grid about 90% of the time, depending on the word list. For the other 10%, you will get an alert explaining that the words that did not fit were added to the scratchpad.
It prints on two pages.
Big puzzles won’t always print on one page — the clues and grid are the smallest we could make them while keeping them readable for everyone.
That said, different browsers print in slightly different ways, so you could try using 'print preview' using a different browser (or try the PDF button) to see if you like how that looks better.
I didn’t hear back from you.
We generally respond to all reported issues in about a day. If it’s been a few days and you haven’t heard back from us, it’s possible we sent an email that didn’t reach you.
Check your spam folder, and be aware that some school email systems block emails from non-school email addresses. Try providing a different email address if you think our emails to you are being blocked.
