FAQ

What word list formats are supported?

Type or paste your words one per line, or separated by commas — the generator accepts either format and automatically cleans punctuation and spacing.

What happens if a word doesn't fit in the grid?

The generator tries up to 200 random placements per word. If a word still can't fit without conflicting with other words, it's skipped and listed separately so you know to try a larger grid or shorter word.

Is my puzzle saved anywhere?

No. Your word list and puzzle only exist in your browser while the page is open. Nothing is uploaded or saved to a server.
