Title Builder Beta See instructions

Welcome to Title Builder Beta.

This small piece of kit is designed to make building your Quiz, Crossword or Puzzle question more effective. It should make finding your question easier for others and, the easier it is to find, the more likely someone is to answer it!

To build an easy to find question title simply select the paper and quiz, enter the quiz number if relevant and fill in the Publication Date. Once you’re happy click “Build Title” and the information should populate the Title field. Fill in the final required details of your question as you normally would, and click submit.

As this is a Beta we only have a limited number of papers and quizzes listed. If you think your favourite Quiz, Crossword or Puzzle should be listed here don’t hesitate to contact us.

Remember: You do not have to use the title builder - simply enter the title and question as you normally would and click submit!

I'd be interested to know how compilers choose the words for their blank grid and what tools they use to search for the right words to go in their blanks.
If anyone can direct me to any useful info or explain how its done I'd be grateful.
I fancy a go at one myself but dont know how to begin!
I have read 3 or 4 books on how to solve cryptic crosswords but they dont fully explain the compilers art.

You should try to post this question on the main Quizzes and Puzzles section where hopefully you would get a response from Quizmonkey who has set crosswords for the major publications and is an authority on the subject.
