"Last week we had students just using the crossword creator.  They did it as a group with some looking up the answers, others putting in the clues, and others writing clues.  It is super to see so many on task."
                -- Bill Burton (Gordon Central High School - Calhoun, GA)
CROSSWORD CREATOR
Crossword puzzles are an excellent tool for students to review key terms and definitions. Crossword Creator allows users to print out puzzles, or solve them interactively on the computer.  Solutions may also be viewed or printed. Use it in the classroom as a teaching aid, or in the home for your personal enjoyment.

In the edit mode, create puzzles with a grid up to 17 x 17 characters.  Layout the words and Crossword Creator will generate the numbers, track the definition clues, create the solution screen, and allow other to interactively solve your puzzle.  Export your puzzles for other Crossword Creator users to play and import the creations of others for you or your students to solve.

"Even though they just did crossword last week they were ready to make some more.  I ran their puzzles off and let them use  them as a page of notes.  Your  program has been a gold mine for the students. (We're still mining.)"
