to insert a word list create a themed dictionary, then "IMPORT FROM TEXT Document", and the file is A WordList file is a Unicode (UTF-8) file in which each line of text consists of one dictionary word, followed by one or more Space or Tab characters, followed by the clue.

Everytime I follow this exact process, it continues to produce only one crossword. I change the grid pattern and it still continues to do this. As a matter of fact, as I watch the building process, it produces the same puzzle that isn't even produced in the series of five. How do I change this?
@DreamCreativeBee2 жыл бұрын
You need to change the name where it says first puzzle or puzzle name as that is using the date and is overwriting your previous puzzles. So for each set give it a new name. Hope that helps.

@DreamCreativeBee3 жыл бұрын
Hi Anca. Select dictionary maintenance then go to the task menu and download dictionaries. From there you get a selection of dictionaries for different languages. The only problem is they are One language to English or English to another Language. An example is the words are in Spanish, while the clues are in English. Or vice versa. I am trying to see if I can make just one language.

Hi Nocolae. You are looking for Crossword Express folder. Rather than a program icon. You only need the VPN to access the website. Since you have installed it you do not need a VPN. Make sure you download and install Java. Java runs in the background. Hope this helps.

I need to create a crossword game with an existing word list with each word having a value. I have the word list. The player selects a location, selects a word, selects up or down, and the word is populated and the word value is added to the total. 1 space must be between each word. The player is trying to get the highest score. How would you make this puzzle, I am calling it Towers Matrix. Thanks...bob
@DreamCreativeBee2 жыл бұрын
If this is for computer or a webpage game I would contact a programmer or look on code canyon to see if it hasn't already been done. If it is for a book I would probably create it in a spreadsheet. Similar to Kriss Cross game.

@DreamCreativeBee3 жыл бұрын
This is what takes the work in creating puzzle books. Either search for General knowledge questions and answers or invest in a Crossword Dictionary. You must rewrite the clues so that they are your own. So for example I found a question that asked Continental United States has 4 time zones, can you name them? Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern. I would change it to, Q: Which Time Zone is Florida based in? A: Eastern. Hope that helps,
