** Clue database contains massive compilation of answers & clues from published crosswords **
The internal clue database contains 25,000 answers and 75,000 clues. It’s embedded into the software, so you can use it as soon as your app is installed. You can also import your own word/clue list for more control over the process.
** Copyright information and advanced statistics **
The title, author, and copyright information can be easily accessed and modified. If available, it will be visible whenever your puzzles are shared or published.
The statistics of your crosswords— including the word length distribution, letter usage, the percentage of black squares, etc.— are kept up-to-date automatically.
** Auto-place your own words to construct a puzzle in seconds **
Just provide a word list, and the app will automatically construct a crossword by searching for possible arrangements.
** Add a fun photo backdrop **
You can take a picture or import it from your photo album and set it as the background of your puzzle. All black squares will turn transparent when a background picture is present.
** Sharing and printing **
You can share your crosswords with your friends in multiple ways— either export your puzzle as a partially filled-in form and let other people continue working on that or export the blank version for an extra challenge. Crosswords can be exported in various formats (PDF, PNG, TXT, iPUZ, and PUZ), and can be shared via email, iMessage, Facebook, Twitter, AirDrop, etc., with a simple touch. You may also choose to save the exported files to cloud-based services like Dropbox and Evernote, or open them with other puzzle apps that support the file type (e.g. Puzzazz).
You can also print your crossword directly from your iPhone or iPad to any AirPrint-enabled device.
** Web publishing your puzzle is easy as pie **
After finishing your crossword, you may choose to publish it through our web service. The app will generate a link for your puzzle, which you can share with your friends or on social media, which will allow them to play on an HTML5 compatible web browser.
