Hochzeitsraetsel.de:
crosswords are designed online.

Questions like “do the shoes fit?”, “is the wedding dress really the right one?” or “whom do I invite?” are among the easier ones to answer. But a wedding is not only about dancing and celebrating — there are games too.

Together with Juana Whitfield I thought about how one could gain a foothold in that segment. What makes sense? What creates value? For us it was clear: it has to be simple, serve a purpose, carry a bit of flair — but it does not have to be new. We decided to take on a small challenge: designing wedding crosswords online. The idea for Hochzeitsraetsel.de was born.

The goals of Hochzeitsraetsel.de.

• Designing crosswords online with a personal touch
• Easy personalisation through built-in functions
• A configuration principle that works on mobile and desktop
• Constantly extended with new functions, e. g. a solution word
• New designs, layouts and options for personalisation

There are regular updates with new graphic frames, functions and options for adjustment. The project is meant to add value to the design of crosswords and to bring joy. The response so far has been positive — now it is about rolling the concept out further and building on it.

The project is fun. New functions and offers are always discussed within the whole family and among friends. That brings back plenty of feedback — the project lives and grows through the influence of many people.
