duplicating and dozens of other uses. Crossdown
Cluebank is a database for storing crossword puzzle
clues. It is fully integrated with Crossdown, enabling
you to bring up a list of clues to choose from for each
grid entry, or "automatically" clue the entire puzzle
with one click of the mouse. With Crossdown you can
print crosswords in a variety of styles, and export
puzzles in several popular graphic file formats for use
with all word processors and desktop publishing
software. You can deploy fully interactive crosswords
to websites. You can generate puzzles as Adobe PDF
files for distribution among other computer platforms,

puzzle authors can test out their own creations, or
just have a little fun! Crossdown is developed by a
crossword puzzle professional for other crossword
puzzle professionals or serious amateurs. Crossdown
