Is it supposed to have an unique solution or are multiple solutions possible?
- hateful 6y agoAlso, are the answers real words, or random strings?
- ufo 6y agoIt has to be fake words. It's possible to see this because some of the words have to contain things like "cdd", "rrp" and "rxo", which aren't part of any real words.
- hateful 6y agoPlus, now that I think about it, having a grid without the gaps usual crosswords have would be very complex to create with actual words. Even more so when using hexagons.

- ladberg 6y agoJust did it, there's a unique solution and you can get to it just by considering a few rules at a time (i.e. no long backtracking).
- sevencolors 6y agoThe solution: https://www.i-programmer.info/images/stories/News/2014/Dec/B/regsolution.jpg https://www.i-programmer.info/images/stories/News/2014/Dec/B... Aren't crosswords supposed to spell out a word? This feels like random characters. Unless i'm supposed to rotate it or something?
- mypalmike 6y agoThink sudoku rather than crossword.
- schoen 6y agoThere is an answer extraction, though, because it's a Mystery Hunt puzzle (where all puzzles extract a word or phrase as an answer at the end). It's just that the individual diagonals in the grid as a whole are not themselves words.
- mypalmike 6y agoOh wow I didn't realize there was a phrase embedded in there. Amazing.
- cammil 6y agoI think each entry I put was forced, so only one solution unless i made a mistake.
