Searching a personal crossword archive

A search vocabulary for the clue you remember from six months ago.

01

Start with a rare word

Search a distinctive answer, setter, or phrase before adding filters. Crosskeep Plus indexes clue text, answers, notes, publisher, setter, tags, and dates; the free archive keeps title search quick and predictable.

02

Use metadata as memory

Tags such as “Friday”, “&lit”, or “learning” turn a vague memory into a small collection. Add a solved date and rating after each puzzle so progress views reflect your real habits.

03

Save a useful note

Write down the trick you missed rather than only the answer. Notes are searchable later and make revision more effective than a passive list of completed puzzles.
