Upload

CSV​

File name​

Your file must be named in the following way: [filename].crossword.csv
If the filename does not end in .crossword.csv, the dashboard will not be able to parse it.

Data format​

The platform expects the uploaded file to have the following structure:

EntryClueMedia
SamosaPopular Indian snack
MumbaiLargest city in Indiahttps://puzzleme.amuselabs.com/pmm/images/amuselabs_logo.svg
.........

Here, Entry refers to the word to be placed in the crossword, Clue is the clue associated with that word, and Media is any media URL (image, audio, video) related to the clue/word.

  1. The order of columns is arbitrary. It's OK to have Clue first, then Entry
  2. Entry: This is a mandatory column. The parser will not accept your file if this column is missing. The parser will reject your file if this column is mis-capitalized, such as entry
  3. Clue: This column is optional.
  4. Media: This column is optional.

XML/JPZ/PUZ​

JPZ and PUZ are file formats produced by some popular puzzle-creation software, such as CrossFire and Crossword Compiler documentation. CrossFire is a Mac OX based program that supports crosswords. Crossword Compiler supports multiple grid-based games, including crosswords, sudokus, word searches and codewords. You can export files in PUZ formats from either of these tools, or in JPZ or XML format from Crossword Compiler. Files in these formats can be uploaded directly to the PuzzleMe dashboard. Sample files in these formats are provided on the PuzzleMe upload page.
