This software enables users to create crossword puzzles for publishing in both print and online formats.
One of Sympathy's key features is its highly flexible grid drawing system. With multiple puzzle layout options available, you can create US-style fully checked, diagramless, blocked, Italian-style, and barred grid puzzles with ease. Plus, you can either start your crossword based on a stock grid or create a bespoke grid from scratch.
Once you've set up your grid, it's time to start inputting answers and clues. Sympathy lets you easily enter and edit your crossword's content until you're completely satisfied with the outcome. And when you're done, you can print your crosswords directly from the software or export them in various formats for publication.
For print publications, Sympathy offers an export option that generates a high-quality PDF file ready for printing. Alternatively, you can export your crosswords as HTML files for easy inclusion on a website. Plus, Sympathy makes it easy to export the grid itself in HTML or bitmap formats such as JPEG and PNG, so you can customize your puzzles to your heart's content.
Overall, Sympathy is a versatile and powerful tool for anyone who wants to create their own crosswords. Its intuitive interface and robust feature set make it easy to use for beginners and professionals alike, and the ability to export your puzzles in multiple formats ensures they're ready for publication no matter where you're sharing them.
