construct_crossword

Read the full construct_crossword page

Build a crossword from a compatible subset of theme candidates, keeping key theme words and adding ordinary crossing fill. Auto size finds a fitting grid; a fixed size or locked answers keep the current dimensions. A successful construction has met the theme requirements for its grid size. After success, finish missing clues. Do not resize or rebuild solely to increase theme density unless the user asks.
