I just (last week) had to write a wordsearch generator, and while looking for algorithms I turned up a very useful site: http://www.gtoal.com/wordgames/ http://www.gtoal.com/wordgames/crosswords.html No Lingo code AFAIK, mostly C, C++, but handy if you are just looking for algorithms. Pretty much every type of wordgame you can think of is covered with *many* different source listings to look at. Only problem is that there is not much discussion of the basic algorithms at all on the site, so you really just have to pick up the ideas by reading the code. BTW, unfortunately I don't have any Lingo code to give you either, as I wrote my generator in PHP and the puzzle is passed to Shockwave via CGI. It's not quite the same as a crossword puzzle anyway. - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
