You can link to the puzzle from your own website using the code provided by Jigsaw Planet as shown below! You are shown the time taken to finish the puzzle when it is successfully completed and you can set the Exit button to link back to your original page.

Create your own Crossword Puzzles

EclipseCrossword

EclipseCrossword is a great piece of software that lets you create your own crosswords in minutes, literally!

EclipseCrossword is very easy to install and use. You can create a printable version for the old pen and paper solution or an interactive version that can be included on your web site.

EclipseCrossword's interactive version is a combination of CSS and Javascript so you can customise it if you want to change the default appearance! This is a handy feature if you want embed it in a web page and retain the look and feel of your own site.

This hardware and Software puzzle, my first creation, will be used with my 'beginners ICT' class next term. Hopefully, this will be one of many that I put together as the days go by - it really is that easy!

Many thanks Rashmi and the Passionate Teachers for this discovery :-)
