a computer can solve a crossword puzzle by first obtaining the puzzle's list of words and hints. it then reads each of the hints and determines the possible words that fit the hint. the computer then looks at each of the intersecting words and the correct words which fit the hint are placed into the crossword. this process is repeated until the crossword is solved.
