What Does It Look Like? Pictured is a completed wordsquare using kisKross. At the top is the name of the crossword.

Look at the first 'E' in EMBANKMENT (top row). There are small flags at the bottom and right side. These indicate that there is a down and an across clue connected with this cell.

When you have completed a wordsquare, such as the one above, kisKross will output a Memo file which contains all information needed to print the complete puzzle; Answer grid, Number grid, and Clues cross referenced to the Number grid.
