A one-off snippet that lets you solve crossword puzzles from a Python console
This is a way to solve crosswords in Python. By you, the old-fashioned way, using the console. It's intended for killing time in boring situations, primarily. Channel your inner Stanley from The Office. (That's why I made it, I had an hour to kill and no access to my normal projects.)
If you run it, you'll immediately get the chance to solve a "crossword"- it's really more of a test. This is what you'll see:
From top to bottom and left to right
1 over: wet
1 down: transportation
2 over: piracy's end
2 down: seek a cure
3 over: cheaper business
3 down: faster than light
4 down: protection, but long
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Choose a square or type $CLUES for clues:
To make your own crossword, you can edit the "cw_file.json", or remove that as a parameter from the Crossword definition and use a different file. I really didn't put enough effort into this to warrant any kind of documentation, you'll figure it out.
