CrosswordEditor is a Java Swing application for creating,
editing and solving crosswords.
Features
-
You can create and edit a crossword grid that has either blocks or bars as separators.
The grid may have one of several kinds of rotational or reflectional symmetry. The
grid must be rectangular, and only horizontal (across) and vertical
(down) fields are supported.
-
You can write and edit clues for the fields in the grid. A clue may encompass more
than one field, and a single field may have more than one clue.
-
A crossword may have a title as well as multiple paragraphs of styled text before the
grid and after the clues.
-
You can enter your answers to clues in the grid. You can complete a crossword over
several sessions by saving and loading the crossword document between sessions.
-
A solution to a crossword may be included with the crossword document or it may be
loaded from a remote location. A solution may be encrypted, allowing the publication
of competitions in which the solution is made accessible by publishing its password
after the closing date.
-
A crossword can be imported from an external source (eg, a web page or a PDF file) by
'capturing' its grid and clues. A grid is captured by selecting its region
in an image (eg, a screenshot). The detection of the grid within the image can be
automatic.
-
A crossword can be exported as an HTML page, allowing it to be printed from a web
browser. To conserve printer ink or toner, the blocks of a blocked grid in an
exported HTML file may consist of diagonal lines of a specified density instead of a
square of solid colour.
