Photo Puzzle Builder
© 2004 APTE, Inc.
Expensive, but easy to use, this puzzle maker allows you to make 13 types of puzzles using photos you import from a digital camera -- we tested JPG and PDF formats successfully. There is also a stock photo library. The idea is to make crossword puzzles using pictures instead of word clues, for example, although the option is always there to use the traditional text clues if you like. Puzzle types include anagram, crossword, word search, word paint, word scramble, word builder, word shapes, photo search, photo scramble, photo shapes, photo jigsaw and photo dots. Puzzles can be completed on screen, or can be exported to .JPG or .PDF formats for printing, and a basic photo editor is included. This is a handy language arts tool for any teacher looking for a way to personalized language activities.
