Want to create my own crossword - cryptic or otherwise. Any resources/websites?
https://crosshare.org/ is worth a look. Lets you build a grid and then 'autofills' suggested words around the words you enter. (And then you can overwrite the suggestions, and it gives more).

Trying to Create a Mini Puzzle Everyday
Hi all, I've gotten pretty into constructing over the past 6 months (and more seriously over the past 2). My goal is to get one lightly-themed mini up on Crosshare everyday. There's a few full-size and midi puzzles up as well. Would love any and all feedback (especially from those that enjoy bite-sized puzzles)!

If you have feature requests / bugs, or want to contribute yourself or hack locally, the source code and issue tracker is available here. I'm planning to add PDF generation, an option to make Downs Only files, and better support for unicode characters when converting to .puz (but you should really use .jpz instead if you can!).
