Getting started

One plugin, one optional AI key, and you're ready to create your first puzzle.

  1. Install and activate EV Puzzles. Plugins → Add New → search “EV Puzzles” (or upload the zip) → Activate. AI-assisted generation works out of the box — no separate plugin to install.
  2. (Optional) Configure your AI provider. Go to EV Puzzles Settings → AI Config and choose OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or a local Ollama install, then paste in your API key. This step is entirely optional — skip it if you'd rather build word lists by hand.
    3. The AI Config page (EV Puzzles Settings → AI Config) with a provider, model, and API key field filled in.

  3. Find the plugin's menu. A new EV Puzzles Settings item appears in your WordPress admin sidebar (grid icon), with Generate, AI Config, and Stats underneath it.
    4. The WordPress admin sidebar showing the EV Puzzles Settings menu and its submenus, including the AI Config item.

No AI key? No problem.

Every AI feature in EV Puzzles is optional. You can type a word list by hand, build a crossword by adding words one at a time, and generate a word search from that same list — without ever touching an API key.

Once EV Puzzles is active, head to Word Lists to create your first puzzle content.
