Crosswords are word puzzles which typically have square or rectangular shapes with a grid of black and white squares. However, there are also freeform crosswords, which, as the name suggests, do not follow a pattern and may take whatever shape the creator prefers.

The goal of a crossword is to fill the white squares with letters that form words or phrases, according to the clues or hints that help find the answer. Obviously, the black squares are only meant to separate the words.

Crossword managers are software applications that will offer users the possibility to easily create puzzles with their own words, for various purposes, ranging from purely entertainment ones, to educational.

Crossword managers also allow users to insert images, to assign titles or to print their creations, so that they can be used with greater ease.
