Puzzle basics

A puzzle has answer words, a grid pattern for each word, and a tray of letters the player uses to fill the grid.

Editing

  • Level name — Optional title for the puzzle.
  • Answer words — One word per row, 3–7 letters.
  • Grid letters — The row under each answer defines the initial grid pattern. Use a dash for an empty space.
  • Tray letters — These are the tiles the player drags onto the grid.
  • Down — Rebuild the tray from the grid pattern.
  • Up — Rebuild the grid pattern from the current tray (as best as possible).
  • Shuffle — Randomize the order of tray letters.
  • Obfuscate — Replace all slots that must be covered with a sticker with a random letter.
