Crossword
A pocket-sized crossword: the post's key words interlocked in a numbered grid, with Across and Down clues written from the post. Solving it means recalling each idea, so the message sticks, and the solvers bring their answers to the replies.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Crossword for posts that start a conversation, teach or entertain, when the message is a list, a question or several products or a menu. It is built first to start a conversation.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Answers are single words the post uses (its services, products, features or ideas); clues paraphrase what the post says about each one and never contain the answer.
- Pick answers that share letters so they cross; numbers and names in clues only from the post.
Visual rules
- A white criss-cross grid with thin ink lines and small numbers in the starting squares (the first one tinted in the brand colour), beside or above Across and Down clue lists with each answer's length.
- Kicker and website on top, a heading-face title, the logo bottom-left and a dark reply pill bottom-right; every square is empty — no answer is printed.
