FAQ's and Troubleshooting

• I keep getting errors building the crossword puzzle.
  • We have stated the usual causes in the error itself.
  • No duplicate words are allowed. Please make sure you don't have duplicate words in your word list.
  • The most common error is that the program could not find a place to intersect your word into the puzzle. After 10 tries on a single word, the puzzle will stop checking, and you will get an error.
  • If you get the same error after trying to build the crossword puzzle 3 times, please look over your word list closely, starting with your short words. Does each of the small words have a common letter with one of the other words?
  • If you can't find the problem word(s), try removing a word at a time.
• Can I make a PDF of the crossword and store this on my computer?
  • Yes. This is an option on most computers in the "Print" box that pops up when you print the worksheet
  • Find the box that allows you to 'choose your printer'.
  • Simply change the 'printer' in that dialog box to "Adobe PDF" (or similar).
  • Then choose "Print". You will be given new options on "where to save" your new PDF.
• Can I put this worksheet on my website? Can I put this worksheet in my book? etc.
  • No. Please read our Terms of Use
  • In general, you are allowed to make copies for classroom or home use only, provided you do not remove the citation on the copies.
