Crossword Wizard

From a single set of words and clues Crossword Wizard will easily create, edit and print crosswords and other worksheets. The crossword player also allows students to use created crosswords on screen.

Crosswords encourage students to think laterally and provide an excellent way to review key terminology on any topic. The provision of 12 worksheet types allows you to do this in a variety of ways. There are also great benefits to be gained in having students create their own puzzles for other students to solve.

Crossword Wizard is an ideal resource item for the whole school, it puts the magic back into making Crosswords on your computer.

The 30 new features make this already popular program a 'must-have' for schools and crossword enthusiasts. The special built-in dictionary allows quick and easy creation of a word list with associated clues. The dictionary search features also allow a customised word list to be generated.

Examples:
.* will search for words of any length
.*ly will find only words ending with 'ly'
..... will find a set of 5 letter words
g.{3,7} will find words beginning with 'g' and are 3-7 letters long
