Crossword Puzzle Generator with Password

About This Tool

This tool generates crossword puzzles from a word list with optional theme, grid size, and language. It supports password-protected sharing to restrict access and secure solutions, enabling secure distribution in classrooms or study groups. It can produce a solvable grid automatically or with manual clue entry.
Generation flow: normalize input words, fit into a grid via constraint-based backtracking, assign across and down entries, and validate solvability. It can retry with different seeds or adjusted grid sizes to achieve a valid configuration.
Clues can be auto-generated from a built-in thesaurus or definitions or supplied manually. Outputs include the puzzle grid, clue lists, solution grid, and metadata, with exports to PUZ-compatible formats, JSON schemas, and printable layouts. The tool emphasizes reproducibility, multilingual clue support, and secure sharing as core value propositions.
Audience and differentiators: educators, tutors, and puzzle fans gain speed, reliability, and governance for classroom use, with password protection, flexible exports, seed-based variants, and solvability validation as key differentiators.
