    I would like to add the Word Search Plug in to our agency intranet. The puzzle shows up but the letters do not highlight when choosing a word. Am I missing something?
    Thanks.

      That might be a css issue where I dont overwrite any style. Can you email me a link to a test-page with that issue!?
      Thanks, Tom

    Hi,

    Your puzzle seems great, but it would be awesome for visitors to be able to choose a username and have a scorecard from 1st place to 10th place. Then it will make the game more competitive and bringing users back.

      Hey,

      good idea in general. However you relate to the word search puzzle!?
      How should the ranking work then? For time been passed by?
      I will definitively put that to my next release feature list.
      But could take some time.

      Thanks!

    Looking to use the clever wordsearch on a website but we would use it in the sidebar.
    Is it possible to have the hidden word list UNDER the square to show them?

      Hey,

      right now it’s not possible obviously.
      I will put that to my to-do-list for the next version.

      Thanks

    MyPuzzle Word Search does not work in IE. The letters are not shown.
    It works fine in other browsers.
    Since this is some puzzles I am preparing for easter, it is not online yet.
    Do you have any idea of what is causing this problem?

      Hi,
      could you provide me with a link to a test-page on your side?
      I would like to check it. Also, which IE version are you using?
      Thanks, Tom

      Hi Matt,
      would love to help. Looks like your wordlist doesnt look like the plugin expects it. It should be a comma separated list of words without any spaces like
      “fish,boad,sea,stars” or something like that. Try to check what you are giving in as parameter for the wordlist.
      You can also send me a link to a test-site and I’ll have a look.
      Let me know whether you get it working.
      Tom

        Well same issue, is this a PHP5 script? the site that I’m installing it on is behind a firewall so i cant create a demo site for you. Its on a older server running PHP4 wordpress 3.1.4 grr..

        Though I did install it on my personal site which is latest everything PHP5 / wordpress 3.5.1 and works fine , Could this be causing the issue?

          Now I’m no jQuery / PHP expert but I can more or less follow code. From what I can see its that the PHP exports the int_grid function properly with values as seen below:
          init_grid('MyPuzzle,Wordsearch,Jigsaw,Sudoku,Sliding,Games,Kakuro,Solver', '8');
          and the values get passed on all the way to...
          load_grid() this is where i get lost...

          ack... never mind, I just followed that url that gets constructed and I get the Notable T_String.. I guessing its the PHP4 on my server causing this grr...

            Hi Mat,

            its hard to tell from my position. I cant find something that php4 would make it the problem.
            Sorry that I cant help you here.

            Tom
