Thank you.

I have an ELisp program to create puzzles, but it needs a lot more work
before it can be published.

It can be done; in fact, I used eieio-persistent when I wrote it for
myself.  However, I don't see many advantages of going back to that
format now, specially for distributing puzzles.

Do you mean the Definitions window? I put a non-nil no-other-window
parameter to that window, so it's quicker to C-x o to the Syllables
window to mark syllables as used.  But I can see how that can be
undesirable at times, so at the very least I'll make it customizable.

Thanks for taking a look.
