A few years back I wrote a program that, given a blank or partially-filled in (NYT-style) crossword grid (with black squares already inserted), could fill out the rest of the grid with valid words/phrases both across and down. It had no relation to clues though, you had to write the clues yourself after the grid was filled out.
I wrote it because I wanted to make my dad (a huge nyt crossword fan) a custom crossword for his birthday. I put in a bunch of phrases related to him and our family and let the program fill in the rest. It was a huge hit, never really went back to it though. Anyone know if anything else like this exists?
