It also requires the EntGenAI companion plugin. The admin interface provides a way to use AI to generate lists of words and hints for your crosswords. It also provides a way to use the Entreveloper crossword generation tool to automatically create a crossword from your word list. All the above functionality is optional. You can also create a crossword manually within the plugin by typing your word list, or by adding words to a crossword one by one. ### Development Development happens in Github: [EV-Crosswords](https://github.com/TheEntreveloper/ev-crosswords) ## Screenshots * [[ * Example of Crossword created with the plugin, and displayed in the frontend of a Wordpress based website. * [[ * Example of Crossword added to a new Wordpress page, in the admin interface. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Ev Crossword Viewer Display your crosswords. ## Installation Installation and use of this plugin is straightforward: 1.

It makes it easy to add crosswords to pages on your WordPress website, with or without AI help. ### What doesn’t this plugin do? It does not directly create crosswords from a simple prompt. Instead, it gives you an easy way to use AI tools to create lists of words and hints, which are then used to generate a crossword grid. ### Does this plugin require anything else? Yes. It requires the EntGenAI companion plugin to be installed and active. AI generation features also require an API key from a supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or a local Ollama installation). ### Does this plugin modify any core WordPress, plugin or theme files? No, it does not. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/72a391108726041127bbc492e873caf1c61a2333db3cab87b7533b097d8931be? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Really cool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-cool-76/)󠁿 [migue17](https://profiles.wordpress.org/migue17/) November 27, 2022 It works perfectly.
