This is fascinating. These are mentioned in a crossword book from long ago and I love the genre.

Unfortunately, they are really hard to make. Unless you want tk clog up your word lists with absolute crap.

I've done it by hand, which is unfortunately a dying art.

I did hit on a shortcut that may make things easier...I'll talk about that in tomorrow's update!

For what it’s worth, I made the 15x15 grid featured here by hand! It’s tough, but ultimately you just have to try again and again until everything fits together.

Wow, thanks for the feature!! Imagine my surprise to be featured among the ranks of Merl Reagle and Dan Feyer after starting to make “bad” crosswords on a whim just 3 months ago… I really appreciate you showing light to the genre. This is such an honor… I don’t know what to say.
