There are 11 types of puzzles with 29 variations available in this version of
Crossword Wizard. Puzzles can be created from a wordlist loaded from disk, a wordlist
created in the program's wordlist editor, from a current list or from a powerful
built-in Dictionary (see Dictionary help)
Each type of Crossword offers a number of styles in the wordlist presentation,
for example,
- Standard - The words are in normal form, HOUSE. These are presented in alphabetical order.
- Anagram - The letters of the words in the wordlist are scrambled, HOUSE -> SEHOU. Students must first unscramble the letters and then find the words in the puzzle.
- Mystery - The words in the wordlist have missing letters H_U_E. This variation helps students recognise words from only a few letters.
- Blank - This option allows students to search the puzzle for words and write
them at the bottom of the puzzle as they find them. It allows for those accidental
words that are created in Crossword Puzzle.
