General Discussion / Crossfire question
« Last post by SkaBro on August 26, 2025, 01:18:00 PM »
Not matter how many word lists I put a check mark beside it only uses the last one I checked. Is there a way to use all of the checked word lists at once?

Thanks in advance!

Is it okay to cross names if one of them is a theme entry and one is fill?

Hi all - anyone have updated intel on WSJ response times?  Also, just to confirm, WSJ doesn't confirm that you submitted (like the pre Submittable auto reply from NYT).  Right?  HYSC

Hi everyone,

I have four 8 letter theme answers I'd like to include in a 21 x 21 puzzle. There are 11 theme answers for a total of 109 theme answer squares.

Can fill answers be the same length as the shortest theme or must they be one letter less? Put simply, if I have 8 letter theme answers, must the longest fill answers be 7 letters or less, or can they be 8 as well?

You’re fine using 8-letter fills even though your theme entries are 8 letters. There’s no rule that says fills have to be one letter shorter—some people do that as a stylistic way to help the theme pop, but it’s not a requirement.

Any recommendations of construction software for the iPad?

I've been using Crossfire on my Mac but apparently it does not work on the iPad.

Thanks in advance!

I was doing some research and found this -> https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cruciverbalist/id1578919678

You might give it a try and let us know what do you think :P

Sorry I took so long to reply. Thanks! I tried it again and it works. Lots of ads to click off though.

Unfortunately this is true. I've seen a lot of crossword-related solvers online that have more ads than content. Not sure how much they get paid but it ruins the whole user experience for me ....

I edit the crossword for a small, community paper, where people in the community actually know me as they see me and I see them while we are out and about.

Several of them of have asked me to start a subscription service to sell monthly packages from my archive of puzzles.

Until they asked, I had never thought about it.

Does anyone have any experience with this? How much to charge? Package options? Payment? Subscription management/logistics?

If not, might you know someone who does have experience in this area?

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

I have tried something similar and the easiest way which let's you start right away for subscriptions at least is Patreon. You can create different packages where your players basically donate each month and based on the package you can give various perks.

Are you looking for a digital solution or simply share the downloadable PDF with them once they subscribe?

Best,
Andrew
