I have never won the Sunday Express General Knowledge Crossword, but I enjoy doing it anyway. So much so that I have written a Java program to help me solve it. On the left are screen shots of it running on Windows. Below are shots of it running on Mac os x.

The basic idea is that I keep a database of old crossword answers which can be searched, since some words have often come up before.

The current database contains over eight years worth of old crosswords.
