It is found out that Crossword Puzzle radiates the teaching-learning process positively on account of students’ enthusiasm and responses as well as profoundly inclines the mean of Pre-test, 40.61 to the one of Post-test, 80.60 aside from the majority of the students’ achievement to the success indicator score on vocabulary mastery in one Cycle. Despite its benefits to other parties, it is advisable that further research is to fill the gaps on other writing genre with discrepant learning contexts.
