Nice Crossword Puzzle Maker (very easy to use)

[Berkeley Brett]

Hello all:

I just created a crossword puzzle in less than five minutes: it had 12
clues with 12 answers. I used the freeware program EclipseCrossword to
do this: a small free program. Basically, you just insert the
clues/questions and the solutions, and this program does all the other
work for you: it optimizes the grid size and configuration, etc.

Here are the main features:

Here are some user-reviews:

And here's the main download site:

The main download site requires "Web Setup", an internet-mediated
installation, which I certainly do not prefer. So I found the download
site for the non-Web Setup installation file:

http://www.greeneclipsesoftware.com/eclipsecrossword/downloadmsi.html

Downloading and installing the .msi file is very easy for Windows XP
users, a little more complicated for users of earlier versions of
Windows.

A very fun program!

GreenEclipseSoftware has some other offerings, but I haven't tried any
of them out (nor am I sure if all of them are free, though clearly some
of them are):

If you have any suggestions or thoughts about other crossword puzzle
making software, or if you have had any experience with the other
programs at GreenEclipseSoftware, please feel free to share whatever
you have.

Thanks!
