That's for solving a crossword with a when you know the solution words. Even that, for small crosswords, is extremely slow. I expect that this is a computationally hard problem for open grid crossword (i.e., very few blanks). For lined crosswords, I expect it's a bit easier since you can adjust the lines to suit.
