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

Hi RickyK

Did you ever submit the puzzle to NYT? I was curious as I am looking to retry for myself (I already got rejected once in 2023 lol) so just wanted to make sure you did

Best,
Andrew

That last point you made got me thinking, I remembered I had something saved, might be nothing, but still felt worth sharing.]
This reminded me, I jotted something down, this thing might be related, figured I’d toss it in.

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

General Discussion / Construction software for iPad

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!

Hey RickyK,

Go to File then Print then NYT Submission

When the print box pops up go to the lower left corner and click on the arrow beside letters PDF.
 It will give you the option to save as the puzzle as a PDF. Save it and send it to the NYT.

Good luck!

General Discussion / Theme answer lengths
« Last post by SkaBro on May 19, 2025, 09:58:15 AM »
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?

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?
