Words Sit End to End. The Secret Sits Under the Coil.
Look Inside is a coil of empty cells. Tag a secret and a blank strip sits under the last letter. Filling the path is the first job. The secret is the second.
CREAM stays because it shares C, R, E, and A with GRACE. SONG leaves because it only shares G. That cut is why the strip can take GRACE after the last letter on the path. Words do not cross.

Empty Boxes, or Numbered Path Letters
Tag #secret: GRACE when this insert needs the strip. Need numbers on the path instead of a strip? Leave the secret off and turn on Letter Hints. You cannot have both. Numbered letters show the path, not GRACE in a box.
Total Letters sizes the coil (50 to 250, usual start 100). Fifty is the tight insert. Two hundred fifty is the long path for a book spread. Pick the letter budget for that page.
Paste the Covering List. Set the Letter Budget.
Paste the covering list. Tag GRACE, or let the pool pick the secret. Set the letter budget. Then pick the path that fits that page.
Need a covering list? The AI Word Assistant can draft one, clues sitting with the words. Sort long to short when you want the longer words on the outside.
A new secret needs its own tagged list. Re-uploading last week’s GRACE file reprints last week’s insert.
From One Coil to a Sheet You Can Fold
Instant Puzzle Books stacks the empty coils into an interior. Export that book as an interactive PDF book so the reader clicks from each coil to its key.
Puzzle Book Studio opens this one collection when a spiral page needs an edit. Instant Puzzle Books and Puzzle Book Studio both produce interactive PDF books.
You can add other Puzzle Maker Pro products later.
