See below the most important key-points to help you play the game:

A new crossword puzzle is automatically generated every time you refresh the page.

When the introduction is over, you are requested to enter a name.

• If you have played the game at least once, the name you have used is already in there for you, so it is recommended that you keep your used name so that the Hall of Fame statistics will remain consistent.
• If you are a first-time player, you should enter a name before proceeding. Make it big and as unique as possible so that it will be distinct on the Hall of Fame. If you have cookies disabled, the system will not remember the name for you, so try to remember the name you used when prompted again in a future attempt.

Click on “OK, Move on“.

In the Options page, you should select the puzzle Category that you wish to auto-generate a crossword for (default is: Word Definitions) and then you may (or may not) toggle some options on/off. These are:

• Skill level: Novice (upon finishing typing a word entirely, the word is highlited in red - false input - or black - correct input).
• Skill level: Expert (No highliting of words or letters while typing.User has no indication whatsoever of the corectness of the word typed).
• Complexity: Lite (Lite complexity means that at most 20 words are included in the generated crossword).
• Complexity: Complex (a complex crossword contains at most 30 words to be discovered).

After making the desired choices, click on “To the Game!“.

Depending on the size of the Database selected, it might take some seconds to generate a new crossword. This delay occurs only the first time you play the game as it is necessary to download the necessary files.

To enter a word, simply click on any letter of the word and type in the characters for that word. As soon as an empty cell is clicked, the entire word and its definition are also highlighted. If the cell belongs both to a horizontal and a vertical word, the first click highlights the horizontal and the second click highlights the vertical word.

You can also click on a definition (on the right) and the corresponding word will be highlighted on the puzzle.

If a word you type comes up in red, it is not the correct word at that position. If it comes up in black, it is the correct word (this is the default behaviour, you can disable this check in the Options panel).

Letters can be deleted by using the backspace or delete keys.

When all characters have been filled in and are correct, the puzzle is complete, and the timer will stop, showing you the amount of time it took to complete the puzzle.

You can solve the entire crossword at any time by clicking on the “Solve” button at the bottom.

You can exit the current crossword at any time by clicking on the “Quit” button at the bottom.

NOTE: Hall of Fame ranking is primarily based in the Percent Completed value (the higher, the better) and secondary in Score value (the less, the better). This means, for example, that if you quit the current crossword before finding all words, you will be listed in the Hall of Fame (if at least one word is found) but your ranking will be low since the “Percent Completed” column will be less than 100%.
