Does anyone have any ideas on how to typeset grids for crossword puzzles in
ConTeXt? Is it doable?

Thanks,

Matthew

yes, yes:

\setupcolors[state=start]

\def\X#1{\bTD[background=color,backgroundcolor=white]#1\eTD}
\def\N  {\bTD\eTD}

\bTABLE
   [background=color,backgroundcolor=black,
    offset=0pt,width=1.5em,height=1.5em,align={lohi,middle}]
\bTR\Y{c}\Y{o}\Y{n}\Y{t}\Y{e}\Y{x}\Y{t}\eTR
\bTR\N   \Y{n}\N   \Y{w}\N   \N   \Y{h}\eTR
\bTR\N   \Y{e}\N   \Y{o}\N   \N   \Y{r}\eTR
\bTR\N   \N   \N   \N   \N   \N   \Y{e}\eTR
\bTR\N   \N   \N   \N   \N   \N   \Y{e}\eTR
\eTABLE

you can now probably figure out how to generate / add those numbers as well
