General Discussion / Submitting to the NYT
« Last post by RickyK on May 18, 2025, 03:39:38 PM »
Hi!

I am looking to submit my first puzzle to the NYT and had a question.

I found a New York Times Puzzle Submission Form and it looks like you provide your name, email address and puzzle title and they ask you to submit a PDF of your puzzle.

But how do I create a PDF using Crossfire? Under "File," I see two options: Export as (options include iPuz, Grid image and Solution image) and Print (options are: Puzzle Grid, Solution Grid, NYT Submission and Puzzle). Could someone with experience submitting to the Times, please tell me the steps you take?

Thanks in advance. Technical stuff is never my strength.  :)

Thanks,
Rick

Software / Technical / Problem with Crosserville Clues: "No dupes found"
« Last post by John R. Conrad on May 17, 2025, 03:39:05 PM »
I am a relative newcomer to Crosserville, but previously used Crossword Constructor and have published eight crosswords in the NY Times Crosswords.

My problem is this: All of sudden, when I asked to "Check for dupes" in a fully clued 21x21 it says "No dupes found" but there are many dupes there. It is doing this even with older puzzles, that previously showed dupes fine. I have tried clearing caches and history, rebooting, etc. Any ideas?

Has anybody had any luck with accessing this website: crosswordgiant.com   It used to be a great site for clues, answers, and help with themes. I used to use it years ago. If one googles crossword giant, it appears listing different ways to access info, so it looks like it's still working. But when I click on the site, the only message I get is "An error has occurred. If this error persists, contact webmaster@crosswordgiant.com" Has anybody tried to contact them? It was really a great site!

Do publishers generally prefer exclusive submissions, or is there more flexibility with puzzle submissions compared to other types of writing?

it seems they did.  The CNN crossword link I have pulls up an applet for LA Times Puzzles.

Thank you so much for bothering to answer. I did feel a little shaky about those 2 entries, but it helped to get another eye on
the issue. I think you are correct; and I'll just have to tear up a large section. Thanx for the "one lap" possible answer!
