GENXWORD-GTK(1)

NAME
genxword-gtk - a crossword generator

SYNOPSIS
genxword-gtk

DESCRIPTION
Genxword-gtk is a crossword generator, which produces pdf (A4 or letter size) versions of the grid and clues, or png / svg versions of the crossword grid, together with a text file containing the words and clues. The word list that is used to create the crossword is also saved as a text file.

The word list can be created when using genxword-gtk, or it can be a text file that has already been written. It can contain words and clues, or just words. Each word, or word and clue, should be on a separate line, and there should be a space between the word and clue. In the following example, the word is 'excalibur' and the clue is 'The sword that a moistened bint lobbed at Arthur':

excalibur The sword that a moistened bint lobbed at Arthur.

Example word lists can be found in the /usr/share/genxword/word_lists/ directory.

There is also an option to sort the word list by word length, which might be useful when editing a long word list. This option also removes words with non-alphabetic characters.
