You can change any of the vocabulary words, clues, or sets in a vocabulary
database. You can also add your own words or delete existing words. Each database
can contain a maximum of 2000 words.
To edit a vocabulary database:
Choose the option to Edit a vocabulary database from the main menu.
You must choose this option from the main menu. (See
Getting Started.) If you are creating a new puzzle or opening an existing
puzzle, click the Menu button to proceed back to the main menu.
Select a vocabulary database from the list and then click the Open
button.
PuzzleMaker will display a dialog box from which you can
choose a database. If no databases appear in the dialog box, navigate to
a new location (directory/folder) where the program will find the database
files.
While working in the vocabulary database you can sort
it by word, clue, or set name. If you need to locate a specific word you can
use the Find command.
Click the Save As button to save any changes that you made to the
vocabulary database.
Select Open Database from the File menu to open a new database.
Click the Close button to return to the main menu, where you can
create a new puzzle or open an existing puzzle.
NOTE: Although PuzzleMaker supports the use of multi-word terms
(e.g. Solar System) in the vocabulary database, these terms tend to be long and
can add to the puzzle generation time. In addition, multi-word terms may exceed
the maximum 28 characters allowed for puzzle words. It is recommended that you
format multi-word terms as follows:
Word Clue
Solar _____ System: the sun together with the group of celestial bodies that are
held by its attraction and revolve around it.
