EclipseCrossword is an easy, fun way to create crossword puzzles. And the program is completely free.

We love crossword puzzles. That's why you will probably find crossword puzzles at the back of almost any magazine you leaf through. And personalized crossword puzzles are popular gifts. People love solving crossword puzzles that contain words (like their name, their hometown, or their favorite pet) that are somehow relevant to them.
