We thought we’d have a go at creating our own puzzle. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many crossword plugins for WordPress. We certainly weren’t going to fork out the best part of £50 for one so we’ve used the freebie below. It’s not a crossword in the strictest sense and it hasn’t got the greatest interface. Ironically, it works much better in mobile browsers than desktop browsers.
