Make a crossword puzzle from a word list.

I'll provide a list of 100 or so words. I'll tell you how big the square grid will be. Your program will try to link as many words from the wordlist together as possible in "crossword-puzzle" fashion. If you can manage to create the most complex crossword using the words I provide, you may just win the next POTM!

If you want to compete - you'll need the details. Simply send mail to fah@potm.ffast.att.com and I'll ship you the details and put you on the weekly status mailing list for this problem.
