How many words/clues to include in the puzzle.

Crosswords FAQ

How is the crossword grid generated?

The AI generates potential clues and answers based on your topic. Then, a separate algorithm arranges these words into a valid, interconnected crossword grid.

Can I specify certain words to include?

Yes, use the Keywords field. The AI will try to incorporate these terms, and the grid algorithm will attempt to place them.

Why are some of my keywords sometimes missing from the final puzzle?

The grid generation algorithm prioritizes creating a valid, fully connected puzzle. Sometimes, not all requested words can fit geometrically while maintaining connectivity, so some might be omitted.

What's the maximum number of words?

While you can request up to 30 words, the final grid may contain slightly fewer depending on how successfully the words can be interconnected by the layout algorithm.
