Frequently asked questions
Do accents go in the grid?
No. Like in puzzle magazines, words go into the grid without accents or spaces, but the list below the grid shows the original word.
How do I make it easier for kids?
Use a smaller grid, few words and only horizontal and vertical directions. For adults, turn on diagonals and backwards words.
What if a word doesn't fit?
The tool tells you which words didn't fit. Make the grid bigger or remove some words.
