What's a great way to keep people on your site for a while and flash your favorite
banner ad in front of them for 15 minutes? How about adding an interactive crossword
puzzle? Would that increase your sales?
Crossword Compiler can help you to achieve
"stickiness." On the exterior it looks like a fun way to create crossword
puzzles using your own words and designs. It's wizard interface helps lead even a novice
puzzle-builder through a simple creation process.
But Crossword Compiler goes one step further; it facilitates the export of your custom
crossword puzzle to the web. It does this in two ways: first, graphically using a GIF file
suitable for print out by your visitors, and second, through a Java-enabled interface
which allows you to create fully interactive crossword puzzles for the web.
We are especially pleased by this latter feature. Within minutes you can pick your
puzzle design, list your words, describe your clues, and create your puzzle for proofing.
With the click of another button, you can export your puzzle to any of multiple formats
including Rich Text, Picture, Plain Text, Web Page, HTML, or our personal favorite Java.
The Java-enabled version includes several features which we think are simply too cool
for words. With this feature, you can include buttons which allow your visitors to check a
word to see if it is right, revert the puzzle to a prior version, or even solve the entire
puzzle. The ability to use CGI to have your users Save or Submit the puzzle is also
available, though a bit more intensive for the novice unfamiliar with CGI programming.
