[QUOTE=LaurV;571505]Or... oh? do you mean that you [U]can[/U] have black square in the second ring, in case the correspondent "singled" square in the first ring is also black? Like a R2C2 black square will force all R1C1, R1C2 and R2C1 to be black?[/QUOTE]Yup. Exactly. The example posted by 0scar also shows how all columns/rows can have all options.

That is correct! The most words possible in a 15*15 crossword is 96, if the grid is symmetrical and connected, and every word has at least 3 letters.
