Getting Started
The PuzzleMaker software is an easy-to-use program that lets you create crossword puzzles,
word search puzzles, and jumble puzzles. You can print the puzzles you create or
you can save them for your students to complete on the computer. Whichever
option you choose, the PuzzleMaker software makes creating puzzles fun and easy. With the PuzzleMaker software you can also edit any of the vocabulary words in the vocabulary database. Or, you can add your own words up to a maximum of 2000 words per database.
