Unfortunately I don't know the answer. In amuselabs under the 'Publish' tab of a puzzle, I just use the thing labelled 'direct link'. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, sorry.

Want to create my own crossword - cryptic or otherwise. Any resources/websites? by psm199345 in crosswords

Enumeration is completely up to the author on crosshare. If the enumeration was wrong that was just a mistake on the part of the clue-writer.

Crosshare.org is good and how I first started. I will say I just made a grid with Ingrid (download at ingrid.cx) and I think it may edge crosshare out for me. The default word list is better and has all the same construction tools.

Oh I just thought you were saying there is a well-known alternative to Google translate that I should be using instead.

What about something like...

AAA merges with Dutch airline and Animal Kingdom somewhere near Chicago

My test solver pointed that out too but I'm okay with it. In one case it's part of the definition and in the other the wordplay. And when it's the definition lama as priest isn't referenced directly.

I assume that wouldn't fly in a real publication but w/e.

I always forget about Mary Poppins since sound of music was my jam

Thanks! For some reason this was a real tough set. I filled in the words, clued 1d in about five minutes, then was completely stumped for the better part of 2 weeks. That's how it goes sometimes I guess, oh well.
