Description of Template Types
Standard UK Style
generally follows a symmetrical pattern with a high degree of black
squares creating a lattice type effect. Normally, for example, if the
top row contains across answers you would not get an across answers on
the second row but the third.
American Style templates again are normally symmetrical but have predominately white space with minimal black squares.
Freeform Style
grids are generally used for themed crosswords where the answers are
pre-defined and will not necessarily fit neatly into a strict grid
pattern. Freeform templates will most often have a greater majority of
black squares.
Basically for this compiler if the grid you create
does not fit into the Standard UK Style or American Style it should be
classed as a Freeform template.
