What is EclipseCrossword?
EclipseCrossword turns a list of words and clues into a custom crossword puzzle. Its step-by-step editor lets you build a word list around a lesson, a newsletter topic or a personal theme, rather than working through a fixed collection of puzzles. You can print the result or share it online.
For page layouts, export the crossword grid and clues into files for a word processor or publishing program. The grid can include answers or leave them out. Puzzle-generation settings let you adjust how compact the crossword should be.
The publisher supports Windows 10 and 11 but says the interface is not optimized for touchscreens or high-resolution displays. This entry links to the publisher’s offline MSI installer. Windows 10 S Mode requires the Microsoft Store version instead.
What it offers
- Build a custom crossword from your own words and clues in a step-by-step interface.
- Print puzzles or share them online with the publisher’s Share EclipseCrossword service.
- Export a crossword grid, with or without answers, and its clues for use in publishing software.

Good to know
- The interface is not optimized for touchscreens or high-resolution displays.
- The offline installer cannot be used in Windows 10 S Mode; the publisher directs those users to the Microsoft Store.
