YOU CAN GENERATE YOUR OWN WORD WEBS WITH CROSSDOWN AND *CROSSWORD POWER

Word Webs look something like unfinished Scrabble® boards. They are not true crossword puzzles. However, they are very popular as training tools, in classrooms or for promotional purposes. Because of their irregular structure and limited word count, their entries can be 100 percent tailored to a specific theme. In the example at the left, we have made a Word Web from a list of mathematical terms. Word Webs lend themselves easily to automatic puzzle generators. Crossdown is fully compatible with *Crossword Power from Wisco Computing. First use Crossword Power to generate your Word Web from a predefined word list. Export the puzzle as a text file. Then import that text file into Crossdown and you now have access to all of Crossdown's professional puzzle development features, printouts, export options and web deployment tools.

*Crossword Power is not included with Crossdown and must be purchased separately. But it is well worth it if your primary interest is Word Webs.
