Introducing a brand-new feature on CrosswordRace.com: Community Puzzles! Using the Crossword Creator, you can now create a puzzle from scratch directly in your browser and share it with the community and other players.

What's a Community Puzzle?

A Community Puzzle is a puzzle made by site members. Your puzzles are public and can be viewed and played by anyone. Other site members can rate your creation, and they can save and continue their progress at their leisure. Community Puzzles can be solved outside the Live Arena—perfect for a laid-back experience.

The Community Puzzles with the highest ratings can make their way into the Live Arena. Community Puzzles can be any size, but to appear in the Live Arena, they must be 5x5. Unless otherwise specified (for example, if you're playing in a Community lobby instead of the default lobby—more on that in another post), the puzzles in the Live Arena are generated by A.I. Many people aren't fond of A.I.-generated puzzles, as they can feel less personal and artistic compared to human-made puzzles. Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle. While I don't believe A.I.-generated puzzles are better than human-made ones, there's one significant advantage: the near-infinite supply of puzzles that can be automatically generated, making it a great option for powering the Live Arena.

But I digress—the debate over A.I. puzzles versus human-made puzzles is a topic for another post.

Conclusion

Welcome to the new Community Puzzles feature on CrosswordRace.com! It's an exciting new dimension of engagement, and we hope it brings fun and high-quality puzzles to the Live Arena.
