Tutorial

The following tutorial shows you how to create your own crossword with Puzzle-Generator in 10 steps:

Step 1: Select puzzle type and create a new puzzle

• After download and installation, start the Windows program Puzzle-Generator from the Start menu.
• Use the menu item 'File → New Puzzle' or the corresponding toolbar button to create a new project.
  
• A new dialog window opens where you can select the appropriate type of puzzle 'Crossword'. A blank crossword puzzle is generated and the program interface changes.

Step 2: Enter your own questions and answers

• You need to define the words for the fields in the crossword puzzle. This can be done in the editor under '1. Enter Words'.
• The right column holds the relevant questions for the puzzle words. Later, you can decide whether these questions are directly shown inside the puzzle grid or numbers are shown instead.

Step 3: Optional: Import words from Microsoft Excel

You can also work with Microsoft Excel or your favourite text editor to edit your word list and import the file into Puzzle-Generator.

• When using Microsoft Excel the sheet must have a specific structure: two columns, only one sheet, no text formatting.
• The first column holds the puzzle words, the second column holds the questions.
  
• In Excel save on 'File → Save As' and choose the file type 'CSV (comma separated value)'.
• When using text files separate two columns of each line with a ';' semicolon (comma separated value).
• Here is a sample file that can be opened with Microsoft Excel or a text editor.

• In Puzzle Generator you can import the words in the tab '1. Enter Words' with help of the 'Add From File' button. Select your CSV file.
• The words of the file are added to the list and are available for editing.

Step 4: Define grid size and other options

After you have entered all words and questions you can start the generation of a new crossword puzzle.

• Switch to the tab '2. Generate' and set the size of the crossword grid, for example 16x16.
• Select whether you want to 'Reject lonely words' (lonely words have no overlapping fields with other words).

Step 5: Optional: Add your own Photos

To give your crossword a more personal touch you can insert your own photos inside the grid of the crossword.

• Go to the second tab '2. Generate' and click on the plus button to insert a new image or a colored area in the crossword grid. A new dialog appears.
• Set the position for the image / color box and define its width and height.
• Use the browse button '...' to specify the location of the image file.

Step 7: Enter the solution text

You can define an individual solution text for your crossword.

• Switch to the tab '3. Configure' and enable the check box 'Solution text'. Enter your own solution text in the adjacent field.
• Use the button 'Update solution text' to select other random fields for the solution text characters.
• All letters of the solution text must appear in the crossword puzzle. You will see a red error message if not all letters are available (or the solution text is too long).
• Tip: It is also possible to display a certain list of characters in the puzzle, e.g. to always show hyphens, slashes or other special characters.
