This release is the result of lots of work by Lars Huttar. Wordsearch now supports Unicode wordlists, and also outputs SVG solutions. It also makes sure there aren't multiple solutions, and improves word placement. Thank you, Lars!

(Any bugs are likely the result of me merging the code, so blame me, not Lars. :))

FEATURES:
Added minwordlength switch to configure the shortest word used from the list
Added similarwords switch to allow similar words (default is now no similar words)
Added useletters switch to use the letters in the puzzle as the pool of random letters to populate the puzzle.

BUGFIXES:
Minor bug fixes.

* Modified the wordsearch program to shuffle the wordlist and then pick the
words from the shuffled list. This will prevent duplicate entries from
the word list (as long as the word list does not contain duplicates itself)
This simplifies the code, so custom word lists may load and display faster
than before.... read more
