Crossword puzzles are a classic form of word game that works well in a multimedia environment. Publisher Sol Robots has put forth "Crossword Forge for Windows," an application that enables you to produce your own crossword puzzles by simply inputting clue and answer pairs, according to the Top 4 Download website. The software also provides picture and solid-colored backgrounds and supports grids of any size. The "Clueless Crossword" innovates on the crossword format by eliminating the clues, as put forth by the Novel Games website. If you move your mouse over a cell in the puzzle grid, other cells filled with the same letter will light up. Finishing this puzzle requires a good memory and vocabulary.
