Well, I finally bought a copy of Crossword Compiler (pro version), and it's a million times better than any other crossword program I've played with.
Anyway, I've made my first creation, an unthemed puzzle. If you like crosswords, please go here and play my puzzle:
http://crossword.info/whatie/myfirstpuzzle And when you're done, tell me what you thought. Were the clues brilliant, stupid, good, bad, okay, or indifferent? Would you rate the clues (overall) as easy, medium, or hard? Were they, in your opinion, too hard, too easy, or just right?
I supplied the clues. I took two or three from a public-domain clue database, but most of them are my original work. This is why I ask what you think of the clues.
At the moment, the puzzle does not seem to want to give you a cheat option. I am not sure why. I thought it supported cheating, but I guess not. I do apologize. I certainly hate puzzles that you can't get a clue on if you're stuck....
Anyway. Other than that, I hope you enjoy the puzzle. Whether you do or don't, please please please let me know... it's important to me :)
