Crossword Maker
Paste or import a list of "word, clue" lines and get a real interlocking crossword: the generator tries hundreds of dense arrangements and keeps the best one. Solve it right on the page with auto-checking and hints, print a compact puzzle sheet, export PNG/SVG, or publish it as an interactive embed for any website.
Runs 100% in your browser — your puzzles never leave your device.

Notes
- Input format: one entry per line — the answer word, a comma (or semicolon/tab), then the clue. CSV and TSV files work too.
- Words are normalized before placement: accents, spaces and punctuation are stripped, so "déjà vu" becomes DEJAVU in the grid.
- The embed is a playable crossword: visitors type into the grid and correct words lock in green. Optional buttons let them reveal a letter (Hint) or flip the whole grid to the answers and back (View solution), and the clue lists can sit below or beside the grid.
- Runs 100% in your browser — your words and puzzles never leave your device unless you publish an embed.
