      It is unlikely that there is a simple algorithm for such a situation, for example take a look at this clue[^], any algorithm to solve it would have to be very complicated indeed.

      Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

          I think he's talking about a program to build a crossword puzzle, given a database of clues and answers. Not one to solve the puzzle.

              Yes, the word "Algorithm" threw me.

                  A quick Google search for "crossword builder algorithm" brought up this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/943113/algorithm-to-generate-a-crossword[^] which you might find useful. John
