Why can't anyone tell me how to compose a crossword puzzle?

Question

I have some theme oriented crosswords I'd like to make.How do I do it?
Just sit there and struggle with trying to interlock the words? Is there no method of doing it quicker? "What goes on..I really want to know" -Donovan

Answer 1

There absolutely are methods, formulas, and
structures you can follow or integrate, and like
with any language construction or music
composition, the way that you do it is
ultimately hit and miss, based on what
you are most comfortable with.

The immediate bummer, right this second,
is that I myself know not of any in particular
nor where to send you.

In all seriousness, I've put several dozen
together, though I've not sold 'em for
publishing.

Don't stop searching, maybe ask on here
at a different timeframe, say, when there's
more readership/traffic.

Google it, ask at a library to help in your
search.

Good luck and definitely get a viewing
