Click here for the cryptic crossword solver.

I have recently been working on a free cryptic crossword solver to be used by my sister and parents who are fanatics. It is linked to a database of around 250,000 words, with the word list from the UKACD. It lacks a few useful phrases, so if anyone has access to a free cryptic phrase list please let me know in the comments so I can add it to the database.

The solver allows you to get a list of words that match letters and space patterns that you may already have in the crossword, as well as easily get definitions for words. There is also an anagram solver – useful for cryptic crosswords.  It currently needs a bit of a makeover, something I’ll do at some point soon hopefully. Any other suggestions or improvements, let me know!
