Hey crossword solvers! Our demo just received a CEFR-focused update, adding better control over word difficulty, richer grids, and a few quality-of-life fixes. Perfect for players who want a more learning-friendly (or more challenging!) experience 📚🧠

🎓 CEFR Difficulty Selection

📘 What is CEFR?

CEFR stands for Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It’s an internationally recognized scale used to classify language proficiency levels:

  • A1–A2: Beginner

  • B1–B2: Intermediate

  • C1–C2: Advanced

These levels determine the vocabulary difficulty used in your crossword.

⚙️ CEFR Toggles in Settings

You can now choose exactly which CEFR levels your crossword pulls words from:

  • Toggle any level from A1 through C2

  • By default, all CEFR levels (A1–C2) are enabled

  • Each match will randomly choose a CEFR level from the enabled preferences of all players

This gives you full control — whether you want beginner-friendly puzzles, advanced challenges, or a mix of everything 🎯
