A web tool for creating crosswords.
I developed this mainly to help with creating cryptic crosswords. The main features I was looking to implement were:
- Ensuring that the grid symmetry was maintained
- A helper to find words matching the checking letters of other clues
- Ability to export into a variety of formats
I am(/should be) hosting this at quarrel.conkers29.co.uk where you play around with this.
Install all the npm dependencies with
npm install
You may need to generate or update the completion dictionary by running
python3 scripts/gen_dictionary.py
The dev server can then be run with
npm run dev
The app is built into a dist
directory with
npm run build
You can then dockerise the app with
docker build .
