- "I know it might sound complicated now, but I promise you that you will understand how to make it work while playing. There are three things you have to keep attention to while creating the grid:"
- 1. A code (e.g. B7), composed of a letter and a number that defines the position in the imaginary grid. The first step is to position them. 2. The definition papers contain the clues to solve the crossword. 3. A content category that gathers all the definitions that are part of the same crossword (e.g. loot box).
- "I know it might sound complicated now, but I promise you that you will understand how to make it work while playing. There are four things you have to keep attention to while creating the grid:"
- 1. A code (e.g. B7), composed of a letter and a number, defines the position in the imaginary grid. 2. The papers with the clues are not to be used during the grid's construction. 3. A content category gathers all the definitions that are part of the same crossword (e.g. loot box). 4. The papers having the same code could represent an intersection or the presence of two definitions, one going down and the other across. Find out which is which!
