  • Perhaps many of you know about the great free web crossword maker Phil. When I came across it last year, I loved it and tinkered with adding some more features to it. I never shared it at the time, but I thought that the new features might be useful enough that some might like to know about it, so here's a post now. Plus, I'm thinking about adding some more to it, and I'd be curious to hear what anyone's desires for potential additional features might be.

  • SurveyJS
