Diagramless Crosswords

Posted on July 6, 2021July 7, 2021 By Alex No Comments on Diagramless Crosswords

A few days ago, some of us had a great time doing some old New York Sun crosswords on stream, but instead of doing them the old-fashioned way, we first converted them to diagramless puzzles.  This added an extra challenge, and discovering the shape of the grid was a surprise each time.  It was great and you should join us next time!

If you can’t join us on Twitch for a stream like this, we’re happy to announce that you can make diagramless puzzles for yourself!  This seemed like a natural addition to the puzzle obfuscator, and that is indeed where we’ve added it.  Check it out if you want an extra-special challenge on your next puzzle!  And I can highly recommend solving it in squares.io, which provides an excellent interface for this sort of thing.
