When you say "re-loaded" the puzzle -- did you open the original version, or did you open the newly posted version with answer key? It's a known issue that locked puzzles are not supported, and locked puzzles give the symptoms you describe. See http://x-word.org/#bugs, which says: Sometimes a puzzle will be locked so that the answers are unavailable. Unfortunately, Xword's support for locked puzzles is somewhat flaky. When using a locked puzzle, you should not click on the "Check" or "Solve" buttons, since they will give incorrect information. However, you can still use Xword to enter answers for a locked puzzle. Later, when an unlocked version of the puzzle is released (usually the next day), open it using Xword. When asked, choose to continue where you left off. Now you can use the "Check" and "Solve" buttons to see how well you did. So please try opening the version with the answers, and choosing to continue where you left off. If that's what you did do, then if you want to attach copies of the puzzle (with and without answer key), we can try to debug. -- -John Sullivan -http://wjsullivan.net -GPG Key: AE8600B6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
