Creating our first project with NEAR

In this section, we will explore smart contract development using the NEAR Protocol. Our focus will be on creating a crossword game smart contract while leveraging the capabilities of NEAR to build an interactive and decentralized gaming experience.

Crossword games have always captivated people with their intellectual challenges and the joy of uncovering hidden words. Traditionally played on paper or in digital formats, crossword games have now found their way into the realm of blockchain technology. By building a crossword game smart contract, we can combine the time-tested enjoyment of crossword puzzles with the security, transparency, and decentralization provided by NEAR.

Let’s take a step-by-step journey to develop the crossword game smart contract. We will start by understanding the structure and rules of the crossword game itself.
