Settings for puzzle generation

Minimum number of words
Use this field to indicate the minimum number of words contained in the puzzle.

Maximum number of words
Use this field to indicate the maximum number of words contained in the puzzle.

Puzzle dimensions
This setting corresponds to a list in which you can choose the puzzle’s dimensions. The dimensions can vary between 11 x 11 and 35 x 35 squares.

If you modify this choice, remember to adjust the other pertinent variables: the minimum number of words and the time allowed for solving the puzzle. If the puzzle dimensions chosen are too small for the minimum number of words, it will be impossible to generate a puzzle.

Number of probable attempts
Depending on the choices made, this field indicates the approximate number of attempts the software needs to generate a puzzle.

Use of exclusion factors
Tick this box to activate the use of the exclusion factors already defined in the dictionary.

Solution options
Tick these boxes to activate or deactivate the solution options for the puzzle.


These options are described in detail in the Help section on puzzle creation (dictionary mode).

Always use the default settings to generate a puzzle
If this box is ticked, any puzzle you create will be generated using these predefined settings until the box is deactivated. Otherwise, this setting box always appears when the puzzle generator starts up.
