The List You Pasted on One Numbered Path
Look Inside is a coil of empty cells. The list you pasted sits on that path. Letters stay off the puzzle image. One list is one coil.
They start at 1 and walk the coil. Each clue fills the next stretch of empty cells. The next word begins where the last one ended. Words do not cross.

A Book Interior, or a Vocab Sheet They Can Hold
For a KDP or Etsy listing, Instant Puzzle Books puts the matching keys in the back at your trim. Classic keeps the clue list in Instant Puzzle Books so the spiral stays clean. In Image prints the clue list on the spiral page. Letters print on the solution.
For a Teachers Pay Teachers pack, choose In Image so the clue list prints on the student spiral they hold. Regular clues for the group still working. Word Fill when they still need the length-grouped bank. Scramble when they should rebuild the word.
Twelve Friday words need a smaller coil. Total Letters sizes that page (50 to 250, usual start 100). Lower Total Letters for a short warm-up, or raise it when the list needs a longer path. The budget is letters, not a word count.
Real Coil or Square Block
Want the thumbnail to show a coiled path? Use Real Spiral. Want a block that sits next to the crossword interiors you already ship? Use Square Spiral. Square cells or circle cells. Sort long to short when you want the longer words on the outside.
Paste Friday’s twelve, or drop the .txt. Then choose how the clues read: Regular, Word Fill, or Scramble. AI Word Assistant can draft the list and clues if you want a start.
Ink the numbers small or badge them. The line and the cell fill are yours.
From One Coil to a Book You Can List
Instant Puzzle Books keeps your trim and writes the title page, contents, and a clickable path from each spiral to its filled key. Export that book as an interactive PDF book so the reader clicks from each spiral 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.
