Description

This Plugin allows you to create and add crosswords to pages on your WordPress website. Blocks functionality is required in this version, to add Crosswords to a WordPress page.
The admin interface provides a way for users to make use of AI to generate lists of words and hints to be used in their crosswords.
It also provides a way to use the Creatorive’s Crossword generation tool to automatically create a Crossword from your list of words and hints.

All the above functionality is optional. You can also create a Crossword manually, within the Plugin, by typing your word list, or by manually adding words to a Crossword.
See this video: Crosswords in WordPress on our YouTube Channel for an example of usage.
