FAQ's and Troubleshooting
Can I make a PDF of the crossword and store this on my computer?
Yes. Click the "Save As..." button in the options menu to be presented with saving options.
When I PRINT - the LEFT side gets cut off! Or it is obstructed by the left menu.
Are you clicking the "Print Puzzle" button on our menu? You MUST click that button to print.
I put in 26 words - but only 23 are put into the puzzle!
FIRST: Are you sure all your words aren't in the puzzle?? Just because you put in 26 words and you see numbers 1-23 on the puzzle, DOESN'T mean all your words aren't on the puzzle. Some words SHARE a number! If you really are missing words, do you have duplicate words ? Duplicate words are currently causing issues. The best thing to try is to "regenerate" the puzzle (Advanced Options > Puzzle Options > Regenerate). Do this a few times to see if all words get included, as a completely new puzzle is created each time, BUT the more duplicates you have, the harder it will be to get them all to show by regenerating the puzzle. In general a couple of duplicates and regenrating should get them all in, 4 or more and it starts becoming difficult (we are trying to find a solution). Hope this helps!
Can't print OR No puzzle shows up - only the clues.
This usually occurs for 1 of 2 reasons:
Try closing ALL instances of your browser, then re-open and try again. Reason: This crossword maker takes a decent amount of your browser memory. If you are already using too much, it will not make the puzzle. This usually occurs with too many tabs or you browser hasn't been restarted in a long time. You must close ALL instances of your browser for your computer to reallocate that memory to a single window. Do it - it's worth it!
You have a very old browser. This crossword creating tool uses technologies only available on the latest browsers. Try Google Chrome browser - it works wonderfully! (especially if you are on an old operating system like WindowsXP).
Can I put this worksheet on my website? Can I put this worksheet in my book? etc.
Yes. *Any worksheet generated on https://worksheets.theteacherscorner.net may be placed on your website, or in a book (for free or for resale) provided you keep our citation on the puzzle (ie. "Created using TheTeachersCorner.net Crossword Maker"). Please send an email to [email protected] and let us know the URL or name/type of publication where you are republishing our puzzle. This way we can add it to our records, and won't hassle you if we happen to come across it.
How do I adjust font size? How do I change the font? Can I add my own images?
Yes. Once you create the crossword, there are a bunch of options on the left. You can change font, font size, font color, background color, add/remove name and instructions and add pictures. Be sure to check out all of the option buttons on the left !
I don't see a blue menu to the LEFT of my puzzle, OR I can't see a print button, OR I can't get to the KEY, OR Nothing shows up.
