General Discussion / Re: How many words should be in a word list?
« Last post by asternknit on October 12, 2023, 12:38:41 AM »Thanks. By the way, I am not creating a mainstream crossword, it's for the medical community (ems, doctors, nurses, paramedics, etc.) that's why my list is unique. geometry dash worldThey simply contain a lot of unfamiliar technical or specialist terminology and phrases. They are jam-packed with unfamiliar abbreviations. They use a lot of language that is offensive, improper, or out of date. Bigger is not always better when it comes to word lists.

When I click "Puzzle Database" I see a nav bar with Answer Search, Word Lists, Puzzle Info, Find Grids, etc., but no Clue Search.

General Discussion / Re: NYT .puz download not working?
« Last post by admin on October 06, 2023, 07:44:57 AM »Hello,
The cruciverb site provides links to the NYT site. When you click on such a link it comes up in their new format. However, you can use the Crossword Scraper extension to save these puzzles in .puz (Across Lite) format. I use the extension to save NYT and New Yorker puzzles every day.
See the second article on the cruciverb.com homepage to find out more about Crossword Scraper.

General Discussion / Full name in the clue for someone's last name
« Last post by zinaphile on October 05, 2023, 09:59:59 PM »I want to clue someone (A) by referencing someone they're associated with (B). To eliminate ambiguity I want to include B's first and last name, whereas the entry itself is just A's last name. Is this fair, or by including both of B's names am I committing to the solver that the entry will be both first and last names?

« Last post by heidenmaverick on October 05, 2023, 05:23:36 AM »Considering that the New York Times (hatedfully) abandoned the.puz NYT file format, I've been curious how cruciverb has kept it available for so long. If I had to guess, I'd say the NYT used a script to build the URL, and even though it had removed the links from its public-facing sites, it was still producing the format on its server. If I'm incorrect, and I hope I am, then mini crossword

Very curious to hear from others whether they've received rejections lacking any feedback.
3 months is quite a long time. Is there any way to make it faster?

General Discussion / Re: Duplicate entries?
« Last post by cuhnkedrik on October 04, 2023, 04:29:30 AM »In the context of crosswords, CASE and SUITCASE would most certainly be regarded a dupe. Some editors, I'm sure, wouldn't mind, but I don't think Will Shortz would be one of them.geometry dash
It's probably a good idea to get out of the habit of submitting duplicate grids.
