Questions
Yes. The crossword maker is free, needs no sign-up and has no limit on how many crosswords you make.
Yes, in any language written with letters, German, Russian and Spanish included. Accents stay, ß becomes SS as on paper, and spaces and hyphens inside a word are dropped.
A word that shares no letter with the others cannot cross them, so it gets a row of its own. Add a word that links them, or change it.
No. The crossword is made in your browser and nothing is sent to us. Your words reach the lesson chat only if you choose to create a lesson and sign in.
