Susie It is still the same and working!!!! I use it all the time! Great tool! I prepare cryptograms, word puzzles and word searches to practice vocabulary The pupils (4th-9th graders) love it! The cryptograms are great for idioms e.g. "Money doesn't grow on trees"... You choose which letters you give them as a start. There is always a chance to view it and to change, go back until you're satisfied. It's important to put a space or a comma between each word, phrase idiom and then, once copied (as an object) to a plain word file, make sure there is a space between the phrases, because then you can't edit it. It's recommended to copy it to a plain word file and change the fonts/ size to your needs.
