Would be interesting if Legacy programmers could find a way to generate a crossword puzzle utilizing the names and places, and maybe occupations, from a person's Legacy file. Perhaps it could utilize a tagged or hash-tagged list of individuals of interest from which to generate the puzzle. The Legacy user would determine the size, perhaps 50-60 across and 50-60 down, and would have to come up with appropriate clues.
Note: Three years ago I created a Legacy-generated BINGO game for a family reunion. Everyone, young and old alike, really enjoyed playing that game. I think we played for a couple of hours! Great fun.

Somewhere around 20 years ago I made up crossword puzzles for different family lines and one combined. There were, and are, software vendors who make crossword software.
It's fun and a great way to get family, especially children, interested.
