Puzzle catalog
Puzzles are all hand written using crosshare
If you would like to submit a puzzle email me at crosswordle.submissions@gmail.com.
Puzzles should contain only words in the english dictionary, and be ~90% commonly known words.
Try to minimize the number of 2 letter words and letters only connected to a single word, as both of those add a larger element of luck into the puzzle.
Include your name and I will give you credit as the author of the puzzle!
Bug Reporting
use Github Issues to submit bug reports. Include any relevant information like what device you are playing on, which puzzle the bug occured on and steps to reproduce.
Contributing
Contributions are strongly encouraged! Just submit a PR and I will take the time to look at it!
TODO
Heres the next features that I'm thinking of working on. Feel free to submit a PR for any of these!
- [x] Add streaks and statistics (to the share modal? Or have another modal for statistics?)
- [x] Add archive (Allow users to play any puzzles in the past, and see how well they did on each one, allow filtering by author)
- [x] Add pencil feature where users can write letters in the corners of the crossword squares (where users can write directly in the crossword shows as gray shadow text in the wordle)
- [ ] Update partially grayed keys to include all edge cases (Given solution "bends" and guess "seedy" mark all e's except the 2nd index as partially gray)
- [x] Add timed mode for those who care about speed rather than # of guesses
Distant Future
These are cool features that probably won't happen, or would happen in the very distant future
- [ ] Support a language dropdown, different set of puzzles per language. We need a puzzle master and/or generator for each language to keep daily puzzles coming at high quality
- [ ] Add dictionary feature to make it easy to look up words and expand your vocabulary, especially if we get multi language
- [ ] Support different size crosswordles
