Crossword Express

For certain crossword enthusiasts, some standard game layouts are not enough. In order to satisfy their needs, Crossword Express offers a software solution to crossword generation. The application helps you create customized crosswords and other logic puzzles from scratch.

In order to properly function, the application requires Java to be installed on your computer, although some install packages come with a pre-installed version.

Crossword Express gives you the possibility to create custom crossword games, of various sizes and difficulty. These puzzles can be based on various dictionaries and area of interest. For example, you can create crosswords containing only astronomy-related words.

You can choose and edit the dictionary that you want to use, enabling you to create crosswords that contain only favorite words and solutions, thus eliminating any inadequate words or special expressions.

Crossword Express offers you the option to create your own grid, then save it and use it for crossword generating. This helps you change the layout of certain classical boards, as you can alter the location of every blank or filled space.

You can create symmetrical boards, because the program can help you create opposite, yet equally differentiated blank or filled spaces.

One of the handy features of the application allows you to search a dictionary for matching words. By doing so, you can check if a word is valid and it exists in a certain dictionary.

Crossword Express gives crossword addicts a chance to build their own games, using only the words that they want. You can even change the layout of the board easily, by deleting filled or blank spaces on the spot.
