Not “7 across: a feline.” The dog that was supposed to be temporary.
Shop crosswords are about words. This one is about them, and every clue is yours.
“PANCAKE – the dog who was supposed to be temporary
BUSSTOP – where we met, in the rain
UMBRELLA – she offered half of it
LASAGNE – the only thing he cooks, and it's good
FIGUREITOUT – her four words”
A numbered crossword where PANCAKE crosses UMBRELLA and FIGUREITOUT runs right across the middle. The clues read like a real puzzle, with letter counts. Their name and your line at the top. The answers on page two, for when they get stuck on 9 across.
Sample: Sam and Riley are a made-up couple. Every real puzzle is built only from the clues you send.
Three steps. One day.
Write the clues
One line each: the answer, then the clue. Fifteen to twenty-five. Rough is fine; we tidy the wording, never the facts.
We build the puzzle
A freeform grid where every answer crosses another, numbered across and down, titled with their name.
Print it
