Questions

How many words can I use?

Up to 80. A 15 × 15 grid comfortably holds 15–20 words; if a word does not fit, the tool tells you.

Can I make several different puzzles?

Yes. Set the number of puzzles and each one hides the same words in a different place.

Does it work with other alphabets?

Yes. Accented letters, Cyrillic and even Chinese words work; the empty cells are filled from the letters you use.
