Hello friends,
Do you know of a good program or software that makes crossword puzzles? I know there are many if you search on the net, but I would prefer to ask you what is the best one and which one you are currently using.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Stella

I don�t know if someone has already suggested this before, but my personal favourite is a software called Vocabulary Worksheet Factory. It is fully functional for the first 30 days but even after that you can still make amazing puzzles in different shapes.
What I usually do is to prepare a vocabulary worksheet for each unit of the coursebook. I make sentences where the words in question are missing and Ss first try to find the words in the puzzle and then put them in the right sentence.

I have the puzzlemaker - and like it a lot.
But what it can�t do, is make crossword puzzles in shapes.
I remember this last Christmas people made crosswords shaped like trees.
how did they do that??

Thank you very much, Koenigin der Nacht. I really appreciate that you took precious time to help out. I am bookmarking these great sites since I am now making their 3rd periodical test for my students.
Sincerely,
Stella
