I put this one together to support a conversation in the Parkplace bar. If people like it and want more, they can try prodding me. No promises, though.

'fraid not. You'd need to print it out and do it like a regular crossword.

If you're determined to go the digital route, you could try reconstructing it in a crossword builder like sympathy. You could also try doing it in a spreadsheet. Finally, how about playing around with the scrabble font?

Print size is set at about 4 inches, which is on the large side, but not really huge. If it won't fit on a page, then its a problem with your print setup, I'm afraid.

If you have an "image dpi" parameter available, try setting that to 96 or 120.
