Hi All,

Thanks for the advice from everyone. I've done a little bit of research, but
I m not sure the idea of rendering the boxes with numbering is correct or
not.
Is it true that I can draw on a canvas? I m reading this tutorial
http://www.anddev.org/the_pizza_timer_-_threading-drawing_on_canvas-t126.html

It seems like after I draw a box, I can still draw on the same place,
overlapping it. So I can do something like "drawing" the numbers on top of
the boxes right?

In face I'm not doing a crossword. It looks similar to crossword but it is
called CodeCracker instead. I did a google on "CodeCracker" but the result
it returns are mostly something else. Here are a few link on the
"CodeCracker" I m saying:
