Pick one of the available unfilled grids. For now, just these presets are provided, in the future you will be able to further modify and create your own unfilled grids. Proceed to the next step.
Note: coming back to the first step will clear the existing grid of any words.
Click or tap on the grid to select a cell, then use the keyboard to populate the grid as much as you'd like and arrows to move around. To toggle between horizontal and vertical words press Space, or click on the already selected square.
"Auto-fill" button becomes disabled when the grid has letters that do not yet belong to a complete word, so either erase those, or complete the words. Once you are satisfied, hit the button to auto-fill in the rest. After auto-fill runs you can explore the solution and use arrows to move around, as before, but you won't be able to change words.
If the crossword auto-fill isn't starting it is likely that the server is too busy. The auto-fill request will be queued and will be processed once it reaches the front of the queue.
Auto-fill can also take particularly long to run; the logic is randomized and this could happen. That said, the selected puzzles and dictionary should make this unlikely to occur.
You can share a partially-filled puzzle either by clicking the "link" button (next to the "?"), or simply by copying the URL, which is exactly what that share button does.
Sharing the complete solution is also possible, albeit indirectly, by right-clicking on the grid and saving it as an image.
