Questions people ask
- How do I type the clues?
- One word and its clue on each line, with a colon between, such as moon: It goes round the Earth. A tab, an equals sign or a dash works too.
- Why was one of my words left out?
- It shares no letter with the others where it could cross without touching another word side by side. The page names it, so you can change it.
- Are the clues taken from a list?
- No. Every clue is the one you type; no clue or word list is copied from anywhere.
