  • Too limited from the GitGo

    That 15x15 grid limit is a problem on Sunday, folks. ---ecs

    Developer Response

    Just FYI, the online version now supports 25x25. To get to it, go to Get More Crosswords on your iPhone or iPad, then enter an email address and select Pro. You’ll get an email with a link to online. We revised the backend to improve the success rate for larger crosswords while keeping the same computing limits. As a professional, you’re probably using it by sending multiple and picking the best of, so you might be happy to find out that we’re topping up every day now, so no need to buy crosswords any more. Hope you like the changes! —————————————— A version which supports 25 x 25 crosswords is in planning, but the limiting UX factor is the size of the mobile screen. It’s already pushing the limit with 15 x 15. We do have a corresponding web interface linked to CWC which would be ideal to support 25 x 25, but precisely no one uses it! Related to this is that for large crosswords, the entries tend to include more phrases as opposed to single words. We’re currently investigating what’s available with respect to these kinds of word lists. Besides that, there are very different computational requirements in generating a 25 x 25 puzzle vs a 15 x 15 one, so we may need to revise our business model. In summary, we’re working on it!
  • I don’t know what to say other than..

    I have ‘submitted’ a crossword by mistake and now whenever I open the app it crashes. Also, where do I go to add the text in? Because I cannot find it whatsoever.

    Developer Response

    Sorry to hear about that. This is the first time I’ve heard about this problem. Did you by chance register with an email or school? I might be able to use that to identify your account and delete the crossword that’s causing your CWC to crash. As far as where to enter just the words, next to the Submit button is a yellow star, tap that. It will open a simple dialog to type or paste words.
  • Nice crossword app - just a question

    How do I save crosswords in progress?
    Thanks again for the app!

    Developer Response

    You're welcome! Right now it doesn't have that feature, but an upcoming version will allow you to save in progress, and resubmit. The latest feature lets you create crosswords from lists of words you provide.
