How to make a crossword puzzle for music?

Now I will tell a little about how I did this miracle. Helped me crossword puzzle maker entitled Crossword creator. It is free, it is very easy to find on the Internet and install (it weighs about 20 MB - that is, not enough). Before I entered this program, I tried a number of others. This seemed to me the best.

As you can see, I haven't included too many words for guessing in my musical crossword - only 27. You can use any number of words. The list of necessary words is simply entered into the window of the program, which itself then distributes them vertically and horizontally and crosses beautifully.

We need only to choose the style of design, and then download the finished crossword puzzle. And you can download several necessary files at once: a crossword puzzle with no answers, it’s also filled with cells, a list of all the answers, and a list of questions. True, here, the questions are taken from different dictionaries, so it is most likely that the questionnaire will have to be corrected. For an example of a musical crossword that I showed you, I wrote the questions manually.

Now a very important point. How to bring the crossword itself to a graphic file? Separately designated functions of export to other formats in the program Crossword Creator no. In fact, we simply copy the image and then paste it wherever we want. It is best to insert it into any graphics editor: in Photoshop, for example. The easiest way is to use standard Paint, or you can go straight to Word, to the same file where you have questions.

One technical point. After the picture is inserted into the image editor, click "Save as", then enter the name and (important!) choose the format. The fact is that in Paint the default is bmp bitmap, and in Photoshop its own format, it’s more advantageous for us to save a picture in JPEG format, and choose it.
