This program will create a crossword for you!
It will be a completely different crossword every time.

If there is a word which you do not want to be in the crossword, then comment it out in the words.lst file. (It opens with wordpad)

Do NOT add extra words in, unless you change the array size in the code to the correct size, and then re-compile it.

The program does not write the clues for you, but it does fit all the words together in a crossword shape.

The source, exe, and words.lst are attached:

Good job!

I made a dynamic version which loads the array irrespective of the size of "word.lst". Here is the change of code required.



I also noticed you used the matrix DLLs for FAST string manipulation. You probably should mention that in your post or docs or code, just for newbies (like me!) who aren't as familiar with the DLL scene as experienced DBPro coders.

Again, congratulations, and Happy Christmas!
