(Mac Classic mode only)

XWord Studio is a comprehensive crossword design and production tool. You can create crosswords from scratch, or quickly recreate them for inclusion in publications. It is not disabled at all: it's a fully working shareware program.

XWord Studio is a great way of creating crosswords, and of course, a great way to create one of the most entertaining and popular methods of online education. Allow your users, friends and relatives to test their vocabulary with this simple to use software.

NB XWord Studio was a remarkably popular program in its day but is now quite elderly and not compatible with Mac OSX. It should run in Classic mode if available. Soon I hope to rewrite it for Windows, then migrate it to OSX.
