It features an extensive 43-page user manual, automatic clueing capabilities, and versatile clue threading options, making it easy to create engaging crossword puzzles. The included Crossdown Cluebank and Librarian ensure that your puzzle-making experience is organized and efficient. ## Description From the Manufacturer Crossdown 6 is packed with features that will help you construct genuine, publication-quality crossword puzzles just like the kind you see in newspapers and magazines. Crossdown is NOT a simple "word-web" or "criss-cross" generator. It is a true crossword puzzle development application for professionals or serious amateurs. Real crossword puzzles must conform to established rules, such as the ones formulated by Simon & Schuster, the original crossword puzzle publisher, and enthusiastically embraced by most markets. For example, a puzzle must fit into one of five grid sizes, 15x15 or 21x21 being the most common. The diagram (arrangement of black and white squares) has to be either diagonally or horizontally symmetrical. With diagonal symmetry, if a black square appears in the upper left hand corner, there must be one in the bottom right hand corner, and so on throughout the diagram. Two-letter words are prohibited, and every letter square must be part of both an Across and a Down word. Crossdown helps you adhere to the conventions of successful crossword puzzle creation. Crossdown includes stock grid designs to begin with, and lots of sample puzzles to study (or solve) while you are learning to construct your own. In short, Crossdown can keep you from making the common mistakes of amateur puzzle constructors that too often lead to rejection by editors or complaints from solvers. If you want to produce puzzles that will be praised, if you have the time, creative skill, and love of language to invest in the "art" of crossword construction, Crossdown is the software that you need. Crossdown's extensive onscreen Help is fully indexed and lavishly illustrated. The package also includes Crossdown Cluebank and Crossdown Librarian. Crossdown Cluebank is an expandable database of crossword puzzle clues. With a single click of the mouse, you can bring up a listing of saved clues from which to choose, or have Crossdown clue an entire crossword automatically. Crossdown Librarian allows you to organize your crosswords into convenient puzzle groups by topic, job or any criteria you like, append notes to them, analyze them, search them, duplicate them, and much more. Crossdown's printout and export options continue to be the best in the industry. You can print puzzles in a number of styles, including Rich Text Format and Adobe PDF. You can output the puzzle in popular graphic formats. You can deploy interactive crosswords to websites. You can even generate standalone mini-games for others to solve on their own computers. Review: One Star - Not what I was expecting, too complicated for nothing. Save your money Review: Extremely disappointed. - Let me be clear, I ordered this as a Christmas present for my brother, so I can't review the software. However, the packaging I received it in was clearly not the original packaging. The case contained an insert which looked printed from a computer (it was crooked in the dvd case and faded looking...as many bootlegs appear), and the instructions were placed in the envelope it was mailed in, with no software box to contain it. If this were an inexpensive item, I'd have less of an issue, but for the price I paid and the fact it's being given as a present, I expected more than this. ## Features - Features 43-Page PDF User's Manual - Automatic (speed) Clueing - Both Across-Down and Grid-Based Clue Threading - Crossdown Cluebank (included) - Crossdown Librarian ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Crossdown | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 out of 5 stars 16 Reviews | | Format | CD | | Hardware Platform | Pc | | Operating System | Windows, or Mac with Virtual PC | | UPC | 185633000266 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crossdown - **Operating System:** or Mac with Virtual PC, Windows - **Hardware Platform:** Pc - **Format:** CD - **UPC:** 185633000266 ## Images ![Crossdown Crossword Puzzle Maker Software for Windows - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NC4CqfQ3L.jpg) ![Crossdown Crossword Puzzle Maker Software for Windows - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51sVesfGA7L.jpg) ![Crossdown Crossword Puzzle Maker Software for Windows - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51u5137OMzL.jpg) ![Crossdown Crossword Puzzle Maker Software for Windows - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QAuG24GvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ One Star *by J***N on July 1, 2014* Not what I was expecting, too complicated for nothing.

He loves to solve crossword puzzles, and so does everyone in my family. I don't think he has tried it out yet, but I will write another review when he does. It came in perfect condition with the booklet with complete instructions, and it arrived on time. If the program works well, I will give it 5 stars! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/25294651-crossdown-crossword-puzzle-maker-software-for-windows](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/25294651-crossdown-crossword-puzzle-maker-software-for-windows) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
