Well wombat, all the code is available to you. I posted the Crossword Table Maker in the catacombs, and KM has given you the clues. Just solve the crossword puzzle and write your script. Then, as an added challange, make your script generate random crossword puzzles using a database of clues and answers. Vroom pointed me at nate's code to generate the puzzle once you select the words. (Nate's word galaxy) The code is out there, it just needs some one to pull an all-nighter and glue it together. I might do it, but not this week.
