Welcome to Crossword Designer

The Online Crossword Puzzle Maker Software Compile, Print, and Publish Your Own Crosswords
This site will undergo in the next few months a major upgrade to use a modern design and software. Please be patient as the reconstruction proceeds!

Introduction

This site provides an online crossword designer and player software. You can use the software on this site to create educational and professional crossword puzzles for online and printed publication. You can create your crosswords and store them online for easy access whereever you work or go. You are no longer tied to creating your crosswords on one specific computer.

Please enjoy our complimentary registration at our site which will allow you access to the full functionality of our software to create and share your own crossword puzzles.

Web-Based Entertainment

Our software is designed to work on popular browsers such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, and Opera.

Crossword Player

The crossword player is designed to reduce mouse use. The serious gamer can set the timer and quickly get to solving the puzzle as fast as possible. You can print the crossword to take with you, or save the game on your computer so you can finish later.

Crossword Designer

You can create your crosswords out of several different sizes and from many exisiting templates (or from templates you create). You can print these crosswords, or transmit them in a computer readable format for processing by other software. We support various sizes up to 30x30. Larger grids are possible, but you are limited by your screen size and resolution.

Our crossword designer has a graphical interface that allows you to create and see the resulting crossword exactly as it is intended to appear to the end user.

Online Manuals

Our crossword software comes with manuals that explains how to use the player and the designer components, and how they interact with the rest of the site.

Supported Puzzle Styles

We currently support American style crosswords, but cryptic, free form, and other styles are forthcoming.
