• Immediately able to use.

  kenbutler554/10/2013

  Pros

  It is self-explanitory. Modifies the puzzle many different ways so you can pick the one you like.

  Cons

  Can't think of any.

  Summary

  I used it immediately to create a puzzle for my Bible study group. Not difficult to use.

• Tried the rest - this was best! :-)

  mroftalp11/9/2012

  Pros

  Excellent simple setup and help files. Downloaded it and used it at once.

  Cons

  No real cons - some complaints here by others are missing the point: It is R.T.G. - even a Uni lecturer can run it at once! :-)

  Summary

  Anyone trying to teach anyone anything could use this tool. It engages the brain, a most difficult thing to do in this VISUAL age of dumbed-down fluoride drinkers.

• Works very well

  tlink2110/13/2011

  Pros

  Pretty easy to understand how to use and make puzzles. I was making themed puzzled for our local weekly newspaper. I like the way it produces an "Answer Grid" same as the puzzle but filled in.

  Cons

  I doesn't make a full grid, in other words where there are not puzzle words there is just a gray area. It bothered me at first but then I used the gray space to put the sponsors name and puzzle theme, so it's not a con for me.

  Summary

  A very worthwhile download if you're planning to make crossword puzzles.

• No Unicode support

  grvsmth3/8/2011

  Pros

  It installed okay, and seems to do something.

  Cons

  I was looking for a crossword generator that would allow me to enter words in any language. Sadly, this didn't fit the bill.

  Summary

  It may be good for some languages, but not for all.

• Easy to use and very fast.

  DomDico2/15/2010

  Pros

  I like how it is free and very light but does so much. You not only make a puzzle but you can also make it a webpage and choose how you would like it to be printed. If you love crosswords or want to challenge friends, this is the program for you.

  Cons

  THere is only one thing I do not like about the program. I do not like the location of where it puts your name on the page.

• I really like this software!

  chrislagemann12/7/2009

  Pros

  II tried a number of "free" online crosswords and this was the best - hands down! I like the various options for saving the puzzles. Being able to adjust the size of the overall puzzle is great. Entering the words and clues was easy and intuitive.

  Cons

  No real cons. I once had an issue with accidentally erasing words and definitions I had already typed in, but I was trying something "different" and deleted them without realizing what I had done.

  Summary

  have recommended this program to dozens of instructors as an easy and quick way to prepare "vocabulary" puzzles for their students. I've used it for 3 semesters now. Everyone I recommended it to, that tried it, loved it too.
