Plenty of crossword generators will happily hand you a grid of separate words that never touch, which is a word list in a box rather than a crossword. Here every word after the first has to cross a word already placed, so solving one genuinely helps with the next.
A word that shares no letter with anything on the grid is left out rather than dropped in unconnected, and the sheet says how many were skipped. A longer or more varied list interlocks better.

Unscrambling is also the skill being practised. The child is being asked to reconstruct the spelling, which is the point of the sheet.
Definitions would need a dictionary this tool deliberately does not have, and unscrambling is the spelling skill you are practising anyway.
