Is there a special application to create crossword puzzles?

Hello, Peter -

Which 2018 Holiday Crossword are you asking about?

Do you mean the one printed by the Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper?

If so, if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader software (free), you can probably download and then print the PDF version of the 2018 Globe and Mail holiday crossword puzzle here:

Best wishes.
