Auto-Create - Is the most direct way to create a crossword from a pre-typed wordlist. You will still have to enter the clues for the wordlist at a later point.

Create Wordlist - Use this simple editor to create wordlists for your puzzles. You can Load an existing list and add additional words (one per line) or you can load a second list and append it to the words you have created using the Append Button. The Apply button causes the Crossword to be created.

Edit Wordlist - Loads the existing list and add additional words (one per line) or you can load a second list and append it to the words you have created using the Append Button. The Apply button causes the Crossword to be created.

Add Graphic - Some puzzles allows you to add a colourful graphic. Click on the "Add Graphic" icon and you will be presented with a requester asking you to locate the graphic for loading. Crossword Wizard allows a full range of graphic formats including PICT, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and JPG. Once a graphic has been added the program supports "drag and drop" for further selections. Only PICT and BMP will load without Quicktime being installed. A free download from the Apple web site.

Remove Graphic - Clicking this option removes the graphic and causes the puzzle to be redrawn.

Edit Clues - Allows you to enter your own clues or search the database for ready-made clues.
