There are already several online maze generator whose output is free for commercial use. What's so special about this one?

Comprehensive generator with many styles and output options. TIL that mazes with a short solution path are called "Elitist".

Maze generation algorithms [1] are great fun. This book chapter [1] details the development of my 198X IOCCC maze generation submission re-discovering Eller's algorithm.

The solutions seems overly linear - make a large maze, and the solution does meander a bit, but I generated a dozen or so and never found one that actually traversed much of the maze. Is that intentional?

Excellent

Is there any curated collection of such generators that includes math and word problems for various grade levels as well? Or crosswords and other small games etc?

Thanks! That is way better.

Although maybe instead of that just being an input field under "Advanced", its effect should be explained for us folk who don't know what those settings mean.
