A tool for making crosswords
Just FYI, Exet does a good job with this, and has lots of other functions useful for filling in the grid.

Just found the article "Pinpointing Letters" in Word Ways, which has cryptic-style phrases for all letters (e.g. 'can opener' for C). Might be useful for clue writers.
Exet has a boatload of resources including some great lists of indicators.

The next AOTW Grid…
None of it is computer “generated” per se, but I do use software – mostly Exet now – to assist in selecting/creating the grid and trying to ensure each entry has at least two options. I also keep track of all the previous grids’ letter combinations, to try avoiding repeats. That last part has become increasingly difficult, though, so I will probably have to limit how far I track back in future.

Programming a (UK-style) crossword puzzle-grid generator in Python (Manual crossword-construction advice is very welcome too!)
it sounds like you are trying to solve the second problem wihch i don't know much about, but if you want to see existing open source tools for it the search term is "crossword generator". here are a couple of interesting repos i found when searching for those: 1 (javascript), 2 (python). your approach sounds reasonable too, but i haven't spent enough time thinking about the problem to say anything sensible :)
