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.
  • Adjust puzzle-generation settings, including how compact the grid should be.

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.
