This free crossword puzzle features anagrams, or different words spelled with the same set of letters. Here are three examples of anagrams: solve-love, lemon/melon and easel/lease.
In this challenging crossword puzzle, you must find the correct anagram for each five-letter clue. Some clues have more than one anagram, so you will need to work back and forth between the clues and the puzzle to find answers that fit. On the printable page, be sure to use a pencil in case you need to change your answers!
