Crossword solving software?

Are there any programs that people would recommended for solving crosswords? Personally I went through all that were available a few years ago and found one called Puzzlex to be the best. This has gone freeware now and is no longer supported so I'm wondering if anybody had any recommendations for something a little more recent? Thanks and Merry Xmas

Dictionary.com has a crossword solver here. I don't know if it's any good as I've never used it.

Bah, your brain has plenty of (free) crossword-solving software.

Use it or lose it!

I tried TEA out a few years ago when I was trying out all the crossword solvers. It was hugely inferior to Puzzlex in the success rate of solving clues. Maybe they've improved it...doubt it!

Puzzlex is/was wonderful...seems like there's nothing to rival it.
