How every crossword is checked
Coordinates read back
The verifier follows each saved start square and direction through the finished grid and confirms every letter.
Connected through crossings
Every answer belongs to one connected crossword. Board limits and crossing counts are checked for each assistance band.
No parent-page reuse
All 120 answers and clues are compared with the general and kids crossword collections. Exact reuse is rejected.
Using the word-bank pages
Match a clue to one of eight alphabetized answers, locate the numbered starting square, and count the spaces before writing. Across runs left to right; Down runs top to bottom. Cover the bank if you want to solve without help.
