Adding New Words
Using the PuzzleMaker software, you can add up to 2000 new vocabulary
words to a vocabulary database. Vocabulary words can contain up to 28 characters
including spaces and the letters ‘a’ to ‘z’. After you
have chosen the option to Edit a vocabulary database from the
main menu, follow the instructions given below to add new vocabulary words.
To add a new word:
- Click the Add button.
- Enter the vocabulary word, clue(s), and other information. All fields marked
with '*' are mandatory and cannot be left blank.
If the database that you are adding new words to contains multiple
languages, you can insert Language
Characters from the Edit menu into the word and clue
fields.
You can add a picture to any word and
symbols to any clue in the database.
- Click the OK button to record the new word or click the Cancel
button to have PuzzleMaker disregard adding any new words to the vocabulary
database.
NOTES:
- No blank fields are permitted unless the database was set up using multiple
languages. If multiple languages are used, the secondary clue may be left blank.
- 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

held by its attraction and revolve around it.
