"Being an English and German teacher, I find your program wonderful - and so do my students!"
-- Sylvia, Austria

"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

"Absolutely fantastic! The price is amazing as well. Sign me up before you realize you're giving it away!"
-- Earl, North Carolina

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

"I just wanted to tell you that your crossword and word search puzzles program are far superior to the ones in the educational software catalogues and much cheaper as well. We have bought some of them and they are JUNK."
