I love crossword puzzles, and this is very well done! A while back I made a crossword puzzle generator using constraint programming. It is definitely way slower than whatever heuristic you are using, but it is very good at generating dense crossword puzzles using small word lists. This would be useful if you were interested in making a crossword puzzle using words related to a single game, for instance. You can read more on it here if you are interested: https://pedtsr.ca/2023/generating-crossword-grids-using-cons...

Thank you for sharing. I will check it out. And no worries regarding the speed. The website is cheating the 20 puzzles are pre-compiled so to say, the actually work was done in C++, the web server is just indexing an array of perfect puzzles at that point. TY!
