All three things you named are in the tool now: every subject to choose from, control of the text size, and control of the box size. The last of those was not just a missing slider. It was wrong in the printed output, and your screenshots on the 30th are what found it.
33 of the 89 crossword sheets were laying ink right up to the edge of an 8.5 inch page, so a home printer cut letters off both sides. Every sheet was measured against the real page and rebuilt, along with 186 other sheets whose headers ran off the same way. What is left is your verdict on the tool.
89 crosswords on the free page, one for each subtopic, counted off the live shelf on the 31st.
All 89 subtopics have a crossword, none doubled and none missing. Each download is the puzzle followed by its answer key.
Each clue was written here and checked against a named source before it counted. Where a source did not support a clue, the clue was thrown out rather than softened.
Word searches, codewords, cryptograms and the rest are built and held off the page. You said the other types looked incomplete, and deciding what looks complete is yours rather than mine, so they wait until you say.
Your words from the end of July, and where each one stands in the tool today.
| What you asked for | Status | Where it is |
|---|---|---|
| Every subject available to choose from | In | Ten specialties in the picker, including the physics topics and abdomen and small parts you named as missing, with the subtopics underneath each one. |
| Control over the font size | In | Two controls rather than one: the clue text size, and the size of the answer letters inside the boxes, which is the one that decides whether a filled grid reads well. |
| Control over the box size, so twenty questions fit a page | In, and the output fixed | A slider from small to large. The control existed before and the output still printed off the page, because the tool only ever checked whether a puzzle fitted top to bottom and never side to side. That is now measured on the real page and every sheet was rebuilt against it. |
The preview on screen cropped the overflow the same way a printer does, so a sheet that was too wide looked correct in the preview, looked correct in the file, and only failed on paper. That is the part worth knowing, because it is why this went unnoticed rather than ignored.
Eight more puzzle types run on the same terminology already loaded, so each is styling and a page rather than a new project. This is the queue behind the fixes, not instead of them.
The one that exists. Clue and answer format, which suits definitions and term recall. It has checked clues behind it now. What it does not yet do is the list above.
Open the generatorThe easiest of the set to pick up and the least intimidating. Good for exposure to spelling and for terms a student has only just met.
A phrase decoded one letter at a time. Rewards recognizing the shape of terms that come up often, which is a different skill from recalling a definition.
One letter changes per step. Works best on short root words and prefixes, so it fits the word part material closely.
Unscramble the term. A fast drill for the long terminology that students most often misspell on an exam.
The first letters spell a term or a mnemonic. This one pairs directly with the mnemonics already written into the study material.
Every letter is a number, and there are no clues. It is solved by pattern, so it exercises spelling without handing over the answer.
A segment or a root is taken out of a term and the reader restores it. The closest of the set to how word parts are actually learned and used.
Instead of matching a word to its definition, each tile connects to the next through a shared concept, so a chain has to be reasoned across the vocabulary rather than recalled one item at a time. It is the strongest of the nine for recall, and I have not found an existing puzzle that works this way, which would make it something the site has and nobody else does. It could also stand on its own as a game later.
The name is provisional. Associative dominoes describes it accurately and reads a little dry, so it needs a friendlier one before it goes in front of customers.
Drag to reorder, or use the arrow keys once an item is selected. Save when it looks right and I will work down the list in that order once the crossword generator does what you need. The crossword is not in the list because it is out already; it is the fixes above that decide when the rest start.
