How to use Crossword Puzzle Maker
Write one “ANSWER | clue” per line, then print. “New layout” tries a different arrangement.
How it works
Longest answers are placed first; each next word is put where it crosses the most existing letters without touching other words side by side, so no unintended words appear.
Example
Ten space words with clues become a 10 × 16 crossword where every word crosses another.
