Crossword Puzzles for Kids: Fun & Free Printable Crossword Puzzle ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this fruit crossword puzzle step by step.

We are given a list of fruits with numbers:

1. Grape
2. Strawberry
3. Watermelon
4. Pomegranate
5. Lemon
6. Apple
7. Pear
8. Pineapple
9. Orange
10. Banana

And we have a crossword grid with numbered clues (both across and down). We need to fill in the words based on the number of letters and how they intersect.

---

First, let’s look at the Across clues (horizontal):

- Clue 2: 4 letters → must be “Grape” (but that’s 5 letters) — wait, no. Let’s check again.

Actually, looking at the grid layout (even though I can’t see it visually, from standard puzzles like this), we match the word length to the box count.

But since the user provided the key at the bottom right:

> 1.Grape 2.Strawberry 3.Watermelon 4.Pomegranate 5.Lemon 6.Apple 7.Pear 8.Pineapple 9.Orange 10.Banana

Wait — actually, rereading: the numbers next to the fruits in the image correspond to the clue numbers in the crossword.

So for example:

- The apple drawing has number 6 → so wherever you see “6” in the crossword, it’s “Apple”
- Grapes have number 1 → clue 1 is “Grape”
- Etc.

BUT — in crosswords, the number indicates where the word starts, and direction matters (across or down).

Looking at typical structure:

Clue 1 is vertical (down) — because it’s written vertically in the grid? Actually, without seeing the grid orientation clearly, we rely on standard logic.

Alternatively — perhaps the numbers on the fruits tell us which word goes into which numbered slot in the crossword.

Let me try matching by letter count.

List of fruits with letter counts:

1. Grape → 5 letters
2. Strawberry → 10 letters
3. Watermelon → 10 letters
4. Pomegranate → 11 letters
5. Lemon → 5 letters
6. Apple → 5 letters
7. Pear → 4 letters
8. Pineapple → 9 letters
9. Orange → 6 letters
10. Banana → 6 letters

Now, look at the crossword slots:

From the description (and common puzzle design):

- Across 2: 4 boxes → must be “Pear” (7) → but 7 is assigned to pear? Wait, confusion.

Actually, re-examining the user’s note:

At the bottom right, it says:

> 1.Grape 2.Strawberry 3.Watermelon 4.Pomegranate 5.Lemon 6.Apple 7.Pear 8.Pineapple 9.Orange 10.Banana

This seems to be the answer key — meaning:

Wherever the crossword has a clue labeled “1”, the answer is “Grape”

Clue “2” → “Strawberry”

etc.

But in crosswords, each number corresponds to a starting square, and the word can go across or down.

Given that, and since the student just needs to fill in the blanks, we assign the fruit name to the corresponding numbered slot.

But we must ensure the word fits the number of boxes.

Let’s assume the grid is designed so that each numbered clue matches the length of the fruit name.

Check:

Clue 1: Grape → 5 letters → if it’s a 5-box vertical or horizontal, ok.

Clue 2: Strawberry → 10 letters → long word, likely across.

Clue 3: Watermelon → 10 letters

Clue 4: Pomegranate → 11 letters — very long

Clue 5: Lemon → 5

Clue 6: Apple → 5

Clue 7: Pear → 4

Clue 8: Pineapple → 9

Clue 9: Orange → 6

Clue 10: Banana → 6

Now, looking at typical such puzzles (like children’s activity sheets), the numbers on the fruits point to the crossword clue number.

For example:

- The banana drawing has “10” → so clue 10 is “Banana”

In the crossword, clue 10 is probably a 6-letter word going across or down.

Similarly, strawberry has “2” → clue 2 is “Strawberry” — 10 letters.

If we assume the grid is built correctly, then we simply write the fruit name in the space for its number.

But to confirm, let’s think about intersections.

Suppose:

- Down 1: G R A P E (5 letters) → fits if there are 5 boxes downward.

- Across 2: S T R A W B E R R Y (10 letters)

But without visual, safest way is to trust the key provided at bottom right.

The text at bottom right says:

“1.Grape 2.Strawberry 3.Watermelon 4.Pomegranate 5.Lemon 6.Apple 7.Pear 8.Pineapple 9.Orange 10.Banana”

This is almost certainly the answer key — meaning:

Fill in:

- Wherever you see “1” in the crossword (start of a word), write “Grape”

- “2” → “Strawberry”

etc.

Even if directions differ, the word should fit.

To double-check one intersection:

Suppose clue 6 (Apple) is across, 5 letters.

Clue 1 (Grape) is down, 5 letters — they might share the first letter ‘A’? No, Grape starts with G, Apple with A — not matching.

Wait — maybe the numbering refers to the fruit illustration, not the crossword clue number.

Re-read user input:

Image shows fruits with numbers: e.g., apple has 6, grapes have 1, etc.

Then crossword has numbers 1 through 10 in various positions.

And at bottom right: “1.Grape 2.Strawberry ...” — this is likely telling us that the fruit labeled “1” in the picture is Grape, so when you see “1” in the crossword, it’s Grape.

Yes — that makes sense.

So final mapping:

Crossword clue # → Fruit name

1 → Grape
2 → Strawberry
3 → Watermelon
4 → Pomegranate
5 → Lemon
6 → Apple
7 → Pear
8 → Pineapple
9 → Orange
10 → Banana

Now, we just need to write these words into the crossword according to their direction and length.

Since the student only needs the answers filled in, and assuming the grid is properly designed, we provide the words for each number.

But to be thorough, let’s verify one possible conflict.

Example: Clue 4 is “Pomegranate” — 11 letters. Is there an 11-box slot? In many such puzzles, yes — often the longest word is placed horizontally in the middle.

Clue 2 and 3 are both 10 letters — also plausible.

Clue 7 is “Pear” — 4 letters — short, likely vertical or small horizontal.

All seem to fit typical designs.

Therefore, the solution is to write the fruit names as per the key.

Final Answer:

1. Grape
2. Strawberry
3. Watermelon
4. Pomegranate
5. Lemon
6. Apple
7. Pear
8. Pineapple
9. Orange
10. Banana
