Greetings,</div>
<div style="font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I have a blind student in a class where the instructor does a lot of crossword puzzles. The student uses JAWS screenreader. Does anyone know of a site where I can create crossword puzzles with clues that work with JAWS? I read that the American Print House
has an app that works for this, but when I go to that site there is only an option to solve pre-made puzzles but not create them
