Crossword Express 5.6
Crossword making application

Crossword Express is an extensive demo that shows how the program can help you to create crossword and vocabulary puzzles for a wide variety of applications. The very flexible system offers a number of options for creating standard, classroom, preset word, and special-interest puzzles; it also lets you specify dictionaries so puzzles can be tailored precisely for your needs. You choose the grid size, and use established or custom lattice templates for various styles of puzzles. Easy to follow menus provide access to Crossword Express' various modules for specific dictionaries, lattice models, exporting, and more. The program is thoroughly documented and includes a tutorial. The only limitation to this demo version is a restriction on the size of puzzle which can be printed, so the the program's capbilities can be fully demonstrated. Registered users can access a number of free dictionaries, and create live Java-based Web puzzles, using the growing library of Freeware Java applets. All upgrades to Crossword Express are FREE to registered users.
