							| How to make this kind of crossword? 
 |  
							| Hello, I would like to make a nice crossword for my pupils. I am familiar with crossword generators, for example puzzlemaker.com. But I can�t figure out how to make another kind of crossword with a hidden message, for example like this: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=387961#thetop I suppose it is made in Word, not in a special generator. Can anyone help me or at least give me a hint? I like this design better than a "normal" crossword. Thank you very much. |  16 May 2011

							| Thanks for your reply, I know this website but I can�t find that type of crossword there (with a hidden message going down in the middle), only cris-cros. I think the type of crossword I referred to was made in Word, but I still don�t know how... or am I wrong? |  16 May 2011

							| Hello. I think it �s made using autoshapes. It isn �t created using some kind of a generator. First of all you have to think about the hidden message and then adjust other words.    |  16 May 2011

							| Hi Daniela! Silvanija is right. I use autoshapes to make my crosswords. First I choose the hidden message according to the topic and then I choose the words that can go with those letters in the middle. We do all the work.   Have a good evening, mena |  17 May 2011
