Crosswordsearch is a WordPress plugin, based on the AngularJs
Javascript framework, for designing and playing wordsearch-style crosswords.
Original development was done for RadiJojo.de, the International
Children’s Media Network.
- Page visitors may try to solve the published riddles.
- Registered users may develop new riddles or modify existing ones depending on their rights.
- For saving their work, they must not be logged in, but only give their user name and
password at the time of upload.
- Each crossword may contain a freetext description of the task to complete and the name of a
copyright owner.
- Crosswords have a difficulty level that relates to the used word directions and the
listing of the searched words before they have been found.
- Solving of riddles can be timed and solutions submitted back to the server, where they
may be logged or interpreted by other plugins.
- Crosswords are organised in projects that share a common set of editors.
- Users may be given a restricted editor status, which gives them the right to upload
new riddles. These riddles will only become visible for other users if a full editor
approves them.
- Default and maximum difficulty levels are set for projects.
- Setting up projects and editors is reserved to the blog administrators.
Authors can add a shortcode tag to any page or post to add a Crossword game to that page.
