Genxword is a crossword generator written in Python. It creates a crossword from a list of words and clues, or just words, in a text file, and it outputs a crossword with clues in pdf format, and / or the crossword in png / svg format together with a text file containing the word bank and clues.
How to format the word list file
When you run genxword, you need to state what word list file is being used and what format you want the crossword saved as. In the following example, the word_list.txt file is being used, and the output will be png versions (n) of the empty grid and the key and a text file containing the word bank and clues.
genxword word_list.txt n
You can save the crossword as an A4-sized pdf, letter-sized pdf, png, svg or any combination of these.
