😊 Read each clue and write the feeling in the boxes — the word bank lists every answer. Then circle the marked letter (○) in each row to reveal a hidden bonus word! The answer key sits at the bottom — fold it backward along the dotted line before you start.
Fill-in puzzles work backwards from a normal crossword — you have the full word list, and your job is figuring out which slot each word belongs in.
Place the longest words first. With word lengths ranging from 4 to 8 letters here, the longest entries fit far fewer slots in the grid, so lock those in before anything shorter.
Count letters in every blank run. Before guessing, count the empty squares in a run and cross off every word on the list that doesn't match that exact length — it narrows things fast.
Let crossing letters do the work. Once one word is placed, any letter it shares with a crossing run instantly rules out most of the remaining candidates for that run.
There are 10 words on the bank for this puzzle — check them off as you place them so you don't lose track. More strategy in our guide to winning at word games.
About This Puzzle
Emotions asks you to match a short definition to a feeling rather than a category fact — “the uneasy feeling after doing something wrong” for GUILTY, “wishing you had what someone else has” for JEALOUS. CONFUSED is the longest answer at eight letters and KIND the shortest at four, so word length narrows things fast once you've worked out the feeling itself.
