Puzzle Player 1.0d

ShortKeys, Zip Express, Capture Express, Crossword Construction Kit, and Word Search Construction Kit are all top quality, user friendly software applications developed by US-based company Insight Software Solutions. We know for a fact they are user friendly, properly good applications because, well, we’ve covered them in the past.

Now out of that lineup, two applications are of particular interest: Crossword Construction Kit and Word Search Construction Kit. With Crossword Construction Kit you can easily come up with customized crossword puzzles. With Word Search Construction Kit you can seamlessly create customized word search puzzles. The puzzles you create with either of the two applications cab be exported as a graphical image, as playable Java format, or as a ready to use Webpage.

And this is where Puzzle Player comes in – you can use this application to solve any puzzle created with Crossword Construction Kit and Word Search Construction Kit.

You could for example create a fun crossword puzzle with Crossword Construction Kit and distribute it to your friends. They could use Puzzle Player to enjoy solving it. Alternatively you could create a fun word search puzzle with Word Search Construction Kit and distribute it to your friends, who could use Puzzle Player to solve it. What Puzzle Player does is provide a fun way for others to solve the puzzles you came up with.

Please note that Player Puzzle is already included in Crossword Construction Kit and Word Search Construction Kit. But the application can also be downloaded as a standalone application (download weighs in at less than 3MB, so it should complete in no time at all). The standalone application is the perfect solution for the user who likes to solve puzzles, but doesn’t like to create puzzles.

Just like Crossword Construction Kit and Word Search Construction Kit, Puzzle Player can be used free of charge only during the 30-day trial period.
