Every clue stops where you stopped watching.
Name any series and Ziko builds a crossword from it. Tell it how far in you are and nothing past that episode can appear, so a puzzle about the show you are watching right now cannot spoil the show you are watching right now.
Move the ceiling with − and +. Clues past it drop out of the puzzle.
Letter counts, never answers: the same rule the app follows. Episode placement here is an illustration; in the app every clue carries its real episode.
Three steps, about twenty seconds.
Name any show
Search any series at all and Ziko builds a puzzle from it. Choose a season and a grid size from 8×8 to 15×15.
Say how far in you are
Set the episode you are up to. The generator is bounded by it, so no clue can draw on anything you have not seen.
Solve it
Clues written from the actual episodes. Reveal a letter, reveal a word, or take a hint that nudges without giving the show away.
Any show you can name.
Search brings back anything that has aired and Ziko writes the puzzle on the spot. These ones already have puzzles waiting, so the first one opens instantly.

About
Ziko turns the television you already watch into a crossword. Pick a show and a season, and the puzzle is built from that season’s characters, episodes and moments — so the clues read like someone who watched it wrote them.
There’s a new shared puzzle every day, a streak to keep, and a library of everything you’ve solved. Ziko is free to play on iPhone.
