Here are solutions to 95% of the problems people have! Click question to see answer

1. Where is the answer sheet?
   • All of our worksheets have answer sheets. After creating the worksheet, there is a blue menu next to the puzzle/worksheet on the left side of the window. At the TOP of this menu click on "Answer KEY" to get the answers.
     
   • Don't see this blue menu on the left AFTER creating your worksheet? This happens for 2 reasons. Click here to read why.
2. How come I can only add 10 lines? (2 reasons)
   1. Browser is low on memory and the javascript engine has shut down in the browser (usually caused by too many browser tabs open or a badly coded extension that is installed and leaking memory). REMEDY: Rebooting the computer will resore memory to the browser. Alternatively, if you know your way around Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL), you can shut down ALL instances of the browser using Task Manager, then restart the browser and try again.
   2. If you only have 10 lines and you see grey boxes asking you to turn off your ad blocker, you need to turn off your ad blocker to get more lines. Still having the problem after stopping your ad blocker from blocking ads? Be sure to REFRESH the page. If after whitelisting and refreshing the page you still can only add 10 lines, you need to restart your computer. AdBlockers cause numerous problems on our site so make sure ads are showing (this sometimes requires computer reboot!) and then try again. We have 3 options for our users: a. Ad Free (generally 10 lines - depends on which puzzle maker), b. Ad Supported (generally 30 lines), and c. Premium Paid Subsription (generally 50 lines)
3. Puzzle is TINY. It only covers 1/6th of the page.
   • This is a bug that happens on RARE occassions with certain computers. We have traced it to happening on computers that have either high resolution, or the with of the resolution of the window is more then 2x the height of your browser window. So if you get a tiny puzzle, try resizing your browser window to be more square. Be sure to let us know if this works - we can't replicate this issue, we just know that on the rare occasion it happens, it is because the browser window is wide and short at a ratio: width is more than 2x the height. We are unsure if making your window more 'square' will fix or not - let us know!
4. How do I adjust the size/color/font etc? HINT: It's in the BLUE MENU!
   • ALL options can be adjusted using the BLUE MENU to the left of the puzzle that is created. If you do not see a blue menu, click here to see why.
5. Crossword Problem: Only the title and instructions show up. No puzzle shows up.
   1. This is caused because javascript does not have enough memory to generate the crossword puzzle. Usually caused by having too many tabs open or a poorly coded app is installed. REMEDY: Reboot your computer and try again. Alternatively, if you know how to use Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL), you can shut down every single instance of your browser and open a brand new browser and try again (closing all browser tabs by itself will not work).
6. Crossword Problem: Some Word/Clue combos are missing from my worksheet! (2 reasons)
   1. Duplicates. If you have 'words' that are duplicates, the duplicate may (or may not) show up. The more duplicates, the more likely you will be missing some/most. If you only have one duplicated word and it is missing from your puzzle, try regenerating the puzzle to see if it will get included. If you have 2 duplicates, you can try regenerating, but less likely all duplicates will make it in the more duplicates you have.
   2. This really isn't a reason, but some people will enter 20 clues and see that the puzzle only goes to the number 18. Sometimes words will share a number (i.e. "1 across" and "1 down" would share a number reducing the overall count, so make sure the reason it is gone isn't because of that.
