Choir Night Needs One Anthem Insert. Tag GRACE. CREAM Stays Because It Shares Four Letters.
Words sit end to end. They do not cross. The covering cut is why the secret can be written. Numbered letters are the other print: they show the path, not a filled-in G.
The vestry keeps the covering list in one file. CREAM stays because it shares C, R, E, and A with GRACE. SONG leaves because it only shares G. That cut is why the secret can be written. Puzzle Maker Pro draws the spiral. The pew writes G-R-A-C-E after the last letter on the path.
Who folds this insert
You already fold a one-page choir insert and keep the covering list in one file. You want a watermark-free spiral you can print for Tuesday or sell in a word-book interior. A shopper cannot build that covering cut and that coil by hand.
Why the covering cut is the hint
CREAM stays because it shares C, R, E, and A with GRACE. SONG leaves because it only shares G. That is why the pew can write the secret. A hint that only says “write G” with no path is the review you are trying not to earn.
Letter Hints are the other print. They number the path letters and drop the boxes. Those numbers show the path, not GRACE in a box. The vestry either leaves the boxes empty or numbers the path. One coil, one print.
How Tuesday’s insert leaves the machine
- Open the covering list. Tag the last line with the secret.
- Set Total Letters anywhere from 50 to 250. Usual start is 100. The software treats that number as a target, not a hard cap. Fifty is the tight insert. Two hundred fifty is the long evening coil. Pick the budget for the mood of the night, not as a flex.
- Pick Real Spiral or Square Spiral.
- Print the empty boxes under the coil, or number the path letters and drop those boxes.
- Set how many coils you want (1 through 10,000). Export JPG or PNG.
The tagged secret is locked on this coil. Mark a new secret when the next coil should hide a different word, or tick Random Word on that line. Last Tuesday’s GRACE insert uploaded as a new listing is a review.
Tag a secret in the Puzzle Maker Pro demo before choir night if you want the insert on your machine first.
What leaves with Secret Word Spiral
| Included | What that means |
|---|---|
| Secret Word Spiral | Words sit end to end on a spiral path. They do not cross. Empty boxes sit under that path for the secret. |
| Letter budget | Total Letters from 50 to 250. Usual start 100. A 100-letter run can land a few letters over or under. Pick the budget for the mood of the night. |
| Two path shapes | The radios say Real Spiral and Square Spiral. One shape per run. |
| Covering list | Each covering word must share letters with the secret. Usual start is 2 shared letters. Raise it to 3 or drop it to 1. That cut is why the secret can be written. |
| Two jobs, two prints | Empty boxes under the coil, or numbered path letters. Numbered letters show the path, not a filled secret. One coil, one print. |
| Batch | 1 through 10,000 coils. |
| Folded sheet with a title page | Open Instant Puzzle Books and drop the JPG on the inside sheet. Puzzle Book Studio (one collection) is the window that later slides that insert under a hymn. |
| Later Puzzle Maker Pro products | Yes. Buy them later. This spiral stays. |
What the preview shows
The path and the empty boxes sit on one picture. You read the secret off the tag, not off the page. Tracing the coil is not writing GRACE. A reader who finishes the path words and expects the secret to appear in the coil will call the page a misprint.
Questions the vestry asks
Does the software print GRACE in those boxes?
No. You tag #secret: GRACE. The boxes stay empty. The pew writes the letters after the last letter on the path.
What do the numbered letters actually show?
The path. That print drops the boxes. CREAM stays on the empty-box print because it shares C, R, E, and A with GRACE. SONG only shares G, so it is gone. The numbers do not print G in a box.
Can Instant Puzzle Books put this JPG on a folded sheet with a title page?
Yes. This Creator exports the spiral JPG. Instant Puzzle Books puts that JPG on a folded sheet and adds the title page.
Can the pew copy leave the boxes empty and still number the path on that same coil?
No. The vestry either sees empty boxes or numbered letters. Pick the print that matches Tuesday’s job.
Can Random Word pick the next coil’s secret?
Yes. Tick Random Word on that line. This coil keeps the tagged word. Do not reprint this coil as a second title.
Open Instant Puzzle Books when the insert needs a title page
Export the coil. Drop the JPG in Instant Puzzle Books for the title page. One proofed Tuesday insert beats a stack of reprinted GRACE coils. A Kindle cousin has to be a book the pew reads. This insert is a page they write.
The word spiral getting-started walkthrough covers Total Letters and the two path shapes. The crossword maker hub is the index that lists this spiral beside the other word products.
Tuesday choir insert from your list. CREAM stays because it shares four letters with GRACE. Instant Puzzle Books adds the title page.
