"Verrry nice piece of work! It’s not often that I find shareware that does what it advertises and does it so well."
-- Robert, Ohio

"Good stuff - As a German High School teacher, I really like the international characters option."
-- Donald C., Washington

"I have looked at several other crossword creation programs, and this one is by far the best I've seen. What I particularly like: It is easy to use, I like the way that it does multiple trials, it is easy to import files of words, the shapes are nice (and I can make my own), and more."
-- Phyllis, PA

"I teach english privately in Japan and I have wanted to make custom crossword puzzles for my students for a long time. For quite some I searched for a decent program and this is by far the best I've found. custom layouts and font settings, a robust interface and it handled the double-byte encoded Japanese fonts so I could display clues in japanese no problem. great work!"
-- James C., Japan
