Hey, that’s awesome, thanks for playing and sharing it!

Great feedback on the “type of” clues. I’ll need to noodle on that and see if there’s a clearer way to express it. Maybe I should just be doing blanks… e.g. for “sun” it could be “___ dress, ___day, or ___ flower”

IME crosswords traditionally say "Word before...". Also thanks for the game, I love it and was excited you used one of my submitted clues a few months ago.

  • Oh interesting. I’ll look for examples of that. If that’s an existing convention that may be the way to go.

    Thanks for submitting clues! I always like reading through them to make the community puzzle

How about "Goes with dress, day or flower"?

  • Ahh yeah, that's interesting thanks. I think the one difference is it's not clear if sun is meant to come before or after the word but maybe that's okay.

    I'll think on this and experiment. Thanks

    • If the order is always the same maybe "goes before" or "goes after" would work too, but I like the ambiguity, and it's more .. I dunno, poetic?
