Which crossword generator do you use?

Sometimes I need to create a crossword quickly for studying or language practice. Recently, I found an online generator where you can add your own words and hints, and a ready-to-use crossword is created automatically within a few minutes.

What crossword generators do you use? Do you know any useful or interesting ones that you would recommend?

SuperColoring – a simple crossword generator for learning and fun

irusik — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:00:36 +0000

I recently tried SuperColoring, a convenient tool for creating your own crossword puzzles. You can add your own words and hints, automatically generate a crossword, edit the title, and choose a layout you like.

The finished crossword can be downloaded and printed together with an answer key. I think it can be especially useful for classroom activities, homework, language learning, and vocabulary practice.

Does anyone here use crossword generators like this?

I love articles where a seemingly simple puzzle turns out to be much more interesting when you look at it from the perspective of math and code. It’s especially interesting to learn that there aren’t actually that many possible 4×4 Sudoku grids. I also enjoy working with puzzles and creating my own crosswords in SuperColoring. Articles like this make me want to try creating a more unusual crossword and see how much harder it would be to solve.

I understand what you mean. When one topic starts taking over most of the feed, it’s easy to miss other interesting technologies and projects.
