Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is the maximum grid size?

The tool supports grid sizes from 5x5 up to 20x20 squares. Larger grids allow for more words but may take longer to generate.

Can I use words with spaces or special characters?

Only letters A-Z (case insensitive) are supported. Words should not contain spaces, numbers, or special characters.

How are words placed in the grid?

The algorithm tries to place longer words first, then intersects shorter words at common letters. It attempts to maximize word intersections while maintaining a valid crossword structure.

Can I save and edit puzzles later?

Currently, puzzles are generated on-demand. You can copy the puzzle data or download it as a file to save for later use.

Is there a limit to the number of words?

The tool requires at least 5 words to generate a puzzle. There's no strict upper limit, but very large word lists may not fit in your chosen grid size.
