crossword | crossword generator - Usage : TODO

Im trying to work on a project that generates a crossword puzzle. Its my first time taking/ learning python. So basically I want to first sort the words by length and then take the first word and place it on the grid/board. But when I want to open the file named 'crosswords' it doesnt sort the list of words that the file contains. it prints out this: None None the code below is suppose to sort the words. The file only contains 10 different words. I am not sure if I have the right idea. Any guidance is appreciated! Thanks

Does Delphi (10.4) have a string-tokenizer that extracts string-token-objects from a string in a similar way as below?

I'm trying to create a Python version of Monopoly. I have a separate class that I am using to shuffle and track the Chance and Community Chest cards. The cards are stored in lists chest_cards and chance_cards.

I'm trying to develop a crossword puzzle app in SwiftUI. I'd like to always show the keyboard, and be able to select a square and have the key press enter a letter there. Is there a way to always show the keyboard in a View? I can get the keyboard to show up if I use a TextField, but it seems rather clunky to make each cell of the puzzle a text field. Thanks in advance.

I have edited this puzzle as I want but I need to show a message after completing the crossword puzzle. Is there a way to do that? Any kind comments warmly welcome.

Here's is the GitHub link- https://github.com/jweisbeck/Crossword

Here mainly activePosition and activeClueIndex are the primary vars that set the UI whenever there's an interaction. all worked as x, y coordinates. is there any way I can add that message?

Here is the checking winning function

I'm making a crossword style program with python using recursive functions. First one function takes random words from a list and places them vertically in a square matrix (can be any length) with '-' as default items. The second function does the same but places the words horizontally after matching the words' letters to those of the vertical words already placed. For some reason, the letter matching isn't working, and the function is replacing the existing vertical words' letters with the new words' horizontal letters.

The vertical function looks like this and works fine:

I'm trying to port the code from coding for crosswords from C++ to Python.

I have a dictionary where the keys are 12000 english words and the values for each key is a list of possible combinations of the key with missing letter. For example, the key-value pairs for "DOG" and "DAD" are:

I'm trying to create a crossword. I make the crossword grid using GridView.count. I get the template of the crossword from a List, the black squares are marked with # and are just black squares that you cannot do nothing with, as they should be. The rest of the grid cells are TextFields where the user can write the letters to make the crossword. Every crossword is different, so I have to create the grid programmatically. My problem is that I need to figure out if the word that the user wants to write is horizontal or vertical and to get the focus to switch from the first to the next cell (white square) while the user is writing. How to tell it which way to go (horizontal or vertical)? I also found out about FocusTraversalGroup and FocusTraversalOrder but no example whatsoever on how to use them.

Here is the code (in the code s is the List containing the crossword template):

edited code after @DungNgo suggestion:

After building up a potentially very large string, I'm going to do a lot of changing single characters in it (or bytes, if necessary), to another char.

Actually, my script is building a crossword puzzle, so the string won't be very long, but my question is general:

How can I use the fact that I'm not altering the strings (or whatever data type is better) length, to speed things up?

I guess part of what I'm looking for is a way to send a pointer or reference to the string, or in Tcl's case the variable name.

My other question is what happens internally in the C code.

Will this call copy the entire string zero, one or even two times?
