Crossword allows you to create blank crossword puzzle frames and then have the computer fill them with words from a chosen dictionary. You can watch the computer while it works, even interrupting it and stepping one letter at a time to better understand what it's doing.
The program is intended to provide a testing ground for different search algorithms. It acts as a visual tool to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a particular method. Doubtless it can find excellent use in an introductory artificial intelligence course. With a little work and proper understanding of the code, one can add new search algorithms to the program.
