Crossword puzzles - challenging task for students produced easily

It feels like an eternity passed since my last post on this blog.

But now there is some time and a new discovery I made browsing the WWW.

I remember crossword puzzles as a challenging way to test my own knowledge. They offer the possibility to check on students knowledge as well.

But how to create them in a bearable period of time? There is a free online tool which is available in German and of course in English as well.

For the impatient - this is the link, just go ahead and try it out yourself. I could get my first printed puzzle within 15 minutes.

For the readers that need some further pieces of information.

The webpage offers a comfortable generator tool for crossword puzzles which can be printed and stored locally on your computer in the PNG format.

Of course the same puzzles can be shared online as well and there is an option to embed them as well.

Furthermore they can be stored on your computer as well for later editing using the same platform again.

Can things get better? Have I mentioned all the functions are available for free? A big thank you to Lars Ebert the developer of this amazing tool.
