Word searches and crosswords in different shapes
 
Hi,

Some of you have word searches in the shape of bunnies or flowers, also some crosswords.

Now, I have made some word searches in special shapes by arranging the words myself. Is there an application, though, that lets you make these things simply by uploading a shape and the words and clicking a button?

Thanks

Big smile

Hi,

Thank you. Are there applications that let you create your own shapes, too? I have been searching the web but couldn �t find any.

I came up blank on creating your own grid.
there is such software but it is not available for free.
