i'm trying to write a program that will be capable of create and solve crossword puzzles but i dont know where to start since i haven't done this before. So therefore,any good hint about how to proceed or code samples is very welcome!

Hello,
can you elaborate what you want from your crossword puzzle,what should it do?
(certainly you should start from a 2 demential array).

I solved it(just in my brain!!!)
(I have an O(n^2) algorithm).

> can you elaborate what you want from your crossword

well,the program that i'm trying to do should be able to make new puzzle or solve existing crossword puzzle.currently,i'm trying to use the STL library to make the implementation.(mostly,i will be using strings and vectors)

for making and solving the corss word puzzel first what you need is some sort of words-bank a dictionary.
