Yes, I should do just that. How I'd think of handling numbers greater than 9 is by drawing a grid, similar to https://github.com/duck57/LightbulbSharkCipher/blob/master/draw.py

That said, that's also some clunky terminal display for a crossword of significant size.

A simple solution would just be to make each "grid" section 2 characters (wide) so you can handle up to 99 words.
