CSCI-1200 Data Structures — Spring 2021
Homework 6 — Crossword Blackout
In this homework we will work with concepts inspired by crosswords, however we will not be following all the
rules that would be required by a proper “American-style” or “British-style” crossword. As such, you should
read the entire handout carefully. Crosswords are quite popular, so there is lots of material available online.
You may not search for, study, or use any outside code related to crossword puzzles. You are welcome to
find additional puzzles to experiment with and try to solve by hand.
The basic goal is to consider a two dimensional grid in which each square either contains a letter or a black
square, and find one or all boards that meet some requirements (described below) and have all other squares
blacked out. Any sequence of two or more squares touching is considered a word. In order for a HW6 solution
to be valid it must contain no words shorter than 3 letters, and all words must be in a provided dictionary
(more on this later). Words only run in two directions, across (meaning left-to-right) and down (meaning
top-to-bottom). A letter in a square can belong to an across word, a down word, or both an across and down
word. A letter in a square is never part of two or more across words at the same time, or two or more down
words at the same time. Finally, in a real crossword grid, all the words must be “connected”, and black
squares must be placed to ensure symmetry, but neither of those are requirements for the baseline HW6.
A full-size example puzzle (left) and solution (right) might look like:

Crossword Blackout Arguments
Your program will accept four (baseline) or five (extra credit) command line arguments. The extra credit
will be explained near the end of the handout, for now we focus on the baseline HW6 requirements.
Execution looks like: ./a.out [dictionary file] [initial grid file] [solution mode] [output mode] [gc]
Dictionary File
The dictionary file consists of words that only use upper-case letters, with one word per line. For a solution
to be legal (allowed), all words in the solution must be in the dictionary file. Words in the dictionary are
unique, and words can only appear up to one time per solution.
Initial Grid File
The initial grid file describes the puzzle to work with. There are three types of lines that appear in the input.
There are no spaces in any of the lines. You should not make any assumptions about the order the different
types of lines will appear in the input. Black squares, represented by “#”, may appear in the input and
output.
• Comments: Comment lines start with “!” and should be ignored by your program
• Length constraints: Constraint lines start with “+” followed by a positive integer.
• Grid lines: Lines that are not comments and not constraint lines are one row of the input puzzle’s
grid. These are presented in order.
Every puzzle should have one or more constraints which represent a required word length in the solution.
Any legal solution must have one matching word per constraint, and every constraint must have a matching
word. For example if “+4” appears twice in the input file, then all legal solutions must have exactly two
4-letter words.
Solution Mode
The solution mode will either be one solution meaning you should only print up to one solution, or it will be
all solutions meaning you should print all solutions that satisfy the inputs.
Output Mode
The output mode will either be count only in which case you will only print the number of solutions you
found (just the first line of output from the example in the section below), or print boards in which case you
should print the count and print all solutions.
Output Formatting
An example output for a puzzle with 3 solutions is:
Number of solution(s): 3
To ensure full credit on the homework server, please format your solution exactly as shown above. Solutions
may appear in any order, but the first line must start with Number of solution(s): then a space and the
number of solutions. Each solution should start with a line that says Board followed by one row of the board
per line, starting from the top row.
Additional Requirements: Recursion, Order Notation, & Extra Puzzles
You must use recursion in a non-trivial way in your solution to this homework. As always, we recommend you
work on this program in logical steps. Partial credit will be awarded for each component of the assignment.
Your program should do some error checking when reading in the input to make sure you understand the
file format. IMPORTANT NOTE: This problem is computationally expensive, even for medium-sized puzzles
with too much freedom! Be sure to create your own simple test cases as you debug your program.
Once you have finished your implementation, analyze the performance of your algorithm using order notation.
What important variables control the complexity of a particular problem? The dimensions of the board (w
and h)? The number of words in the dictionary (d)? The total number of spaces with a letter (l)? The
total number of blacked out spaces (b)? The number of constraints (c)? Etc. In your README.txt file write
a concise paragraph (< 200 words) justifying your answer. Also include a simple table summarizing the
running time and number of solutions found by your program on each of the provided examples.
You should include 1-3 new puzzles and at least 1 dictionary for each of your new puzzles that either helped
you test corner cases or experiment with the running time of your program. Make sure to describe these
puzzles in your README.
You can use any technique we have covered in Lectures 1-14, Homework 1-5, and Lab 1-7. This means you
cannot use STL pair, map, set, etc. on this homework assignment.
You must do this assignment on your own, as described in the “Collaboration Policy & Academic Integrity”
handout. If you did discuss this assignment, problem solving techniques, or error messages, etc. with anyone,
please list their names in your README.txt file.
NOTE: If you earn 7 points on the homework submission server for tests 3 through 10 by 11:59pm on
Wednesday, March 24, you may submit your assignment on Friday, March 26 by 11:59pm without being
charged a late day.
Extra Credit
For extra credit, your program should function the same as in the baseline case when given four arguments.
However if a fifth argument is given, gc, then you should only print boards that are a “giant component”.
What this means is that starting from any letter, you should be able to use a series of up, down, left, and
right moves to reach all other letters in the board without having to go through a blacked out (“#”) square.
Legal for baseline HW6, but not valid for
extra credit if gc is given as 5th argument.
There is no way to get from “LABRAT” to
“RED” without touching a blacked out cell or
using a diagonal movement.
Legal for baseline HW6 and extra credit, all
letters can be reached by only going up, left,
down, or right without having to use a blacked
out cell.
