Usage:

  1. Specify the vertical word you want to get as the solution of the crossword puzzle.
  2. Add the potential horzontal words, one word in each line. The program will combine these words in some order.
  3. Specify how many solutions (layouts) you want to generate. Hint: don't ask for more than 100 because you cannot do anything with too many solutions. Maybe you can't even open the result document.
  4. Specify how many columns you want to allow in the tables. Hint: use 17, otherwise you may need to adjust the cell sizes manually.
  5. Click Submit
  6. Check how the calculation goes. Click the Refresh State button every time you want to see the progress. It will tell you:
    • a ratio of A/B where B is the number of possible combinations the program needs to check and A is the number of them how many have already been checked.
    • Number of solutions so far: how many solutions have been found
  7. Click the Download button when it appears. It shows when all the solutions have been found.
