The Guardian Grids

Here's the set of all 72 grids used in the Guardian between 2007 and 2013.

The numbering is arbitrary, sorted based on the popularity of the grid (most popular grid first).

You can download a zip file of the grids as text files that you can load in Crossword Compiler, or images to print and fill in.

Finally, here are tables of Word length counts (so you can choose a grid) and how often each compiler uses each grid.
