I would like to wirite a program for my granddad on christmas

Hello, as i mentioned in title i would like to write a program for my granddad. He loves crosswords, he can solve it for hours but he has weak knowlage of new movies, music and generally show business so he use wikipedia for it. To make his work easier i would like to wite a program for solving crosswords. For example if he want to find w word and he has missing 2 letters like A*b*. Program should give him all words which can fit to this word. I have found wikipedia apihttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&search=lasBut it works only with full word and if i want to use it for every letter of alphabet (polish has 32) it would be 32^(missing letters) so 1.048.576 request for 3 missing letters are too many...I have thought that it will be easier to download wikipedia in json file, but its large file (compressed is 42gb so raw file i think is about 100gb so idk how to divide it later..).Do you have any idea how can i do this kind of program?PS. Great feature would be also possibility to set category
