“Create crosswords for your friends or students”

by Nick Mead about Crossword Forge

Have you ever fancied trying to create a password puzzle rather than filling-in one?

Crossword Forge gives you the power to do just that. Creating a crossword is made simple with Crossword Forge by just writing a question of the clue and entering the correct answer. The tricky part is to make all the letters and words match up, but with some practice it becomes easy to juggle the words around to fit. In this latest releases, Crossword Forge features a new updated algorithm which vastly improves the density of your puzzles. This allows you to fit-in more words in a smaller space for some truly complex puzzles.

There are some handy ways you can customize your puzzles with Crossword Forge, such as changing the font and colors, adding foreign characters and applying a picture in the background of the crossword. What's more, the grid can be as big as you like, meaning you can make the puzzle really easy or really difficult depending on the intelligence of the person you're making the crossword for. This makes Crossword Forge a perfect way to entertain your buddies or for use a teaching aid.

With a word suggester to help you make denser and more topic relevant puzzles and Puzzle Mask Editor to allow you to stop the puzzle from forming in certain spaces and to form specific shaped puzzles, Crossword Forge is about as complete as they come.

If you've never tried creating your own password, then you'll be surprised how easy Crossword Forge makes it.
