Safitriani, Student Registered Number. 12203193149. 2023. The Effectiveness of Crossword Puzzles on the Eighth Grade Students’ Vocabulary Mastery at MTs Asy Syafi’iyah Gondang Tulungagung. Thesis. English Education Department. Faculty of Education and Teacher Training. State Islamic University of Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung. Advisor: Dr. Hj. Ida Isnawati, M.Pd. Keywords: effectiveness, crossword puzzle, vocabulary mastery A crossword puzzle is a type of word game usually consisting of white and black boxes forming a rectangular grid. Each white square can be filled with letters to form a word, and each column or row in the box has a written clue containing definitions or hints for the words to be filled in. Playing crossword puzzles helps increase the player's vocabulary as they are exposed to various dishes and terms. Crosswords often include questions or clues related to different areas of knowledge to be used as educational tools.
