What puzzle types are there?+
Two generators today — themed crosswords and themed word searches. Both run on any topic you can think of.
How does the AI work?+

Crosswords have one-click PDF export with the grid, clues, and an answer key on a separate page. Word search PDF export is on the roadmap.
