Description

BlackCrosswords: In Our Own Words Volume 1 isn’t just a puzzle book — it celebrates who we are. Every clue, answer, and reference centers the depth and brilliance of Black culture. If traditional crosswords ever felt distant or unfamiliar, this volume turns that feeling around.

This book speaks to the people who grew up quoting our movies, singing our classics, honoring our icons, and laughing at the jokes only we get. It’s for anyone who knows the difference between “shade” and “tea,” who can finish a 90s sitcom line without effort, and who understands that our history and creativity deserve to shine on the page.

Inside, you’ll work through puzzles that uplift our heroes, highlight our language, showcase our achievements, and reflect the rhythm of Black life. Solve them on your own, challenge your family, or gift the book to someone who loves a good mental workout. Every grid delivers joy, nostalgia, and cultural pride.

If you’ve been waiting for a crossword that finally feels like home, you’ve found it. In Our Own Words is more than a title — it’s a commitment. And Volume 1 is only the start.
