Runs in your browser — nothing you type leaves your computer. No sign-up. $19 once removes the PREVIEW cover mark; 30-day refund, no questions.

The button opens the free generator with this theme selected. It draws all 12 words into a single 15×15 puzzle. A list this size makes one puzzle, not a book — the theme picker is checkboxes, so tick a second list alongside this one and the generator will build as many different puzzles as the combined list allows.

The list

• Beaver
• Coastline
• Craterlake
• Douglasfir
• Meadowlark
• Mounthood
• Oregongrape
• Pinotnoir
• Portland
• Salem
• Timber
• Willamette

Copy freely. One per line or comma-separated pastes straight into the generator's "Your own list" box if you want to add or remove words.

Crossword clues for every word

The same list with a plain-language clue for each word — written for the crossword type, and free to use in a grid you build yourself. Copy the lines as they are (word — clue) into the generator's own-list box and it makes the crossword for you.

A puzzle made from it

Medium difficulty: across, down and diagonals, nothing backwards. Every word appears exactly once — the generator checks the finished grid rather than assuming. Solutions are in the book, not on this page.
