Forge a Crossword
Construct a personalized crossword and prove it works before anyone's pencil touches it: the grid actually interlocks, every entry sits in the grid exactly where its number says, every clue is tuned to the solver — and the whole thing ships as a printable page with the solution kept decently out of sight. Locks the theme and the word list FIRST, then constructs the mechanically-verified grid, then renders the printable puzzle. Use for making a crossword, a personalized puzzle for the family, 'a crossword with the grandkids' names in it', and printable puzzle gifts.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the puzzle | Developer | theme and word list from the personal material, construction rules |
| 2 | Construct the grid | Developer | verified puzzle data — grid, entries, clues |
| 3 | Render the printable page | Developer | printable grid and clues, solution out of sight, shelf copy filed |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
