Nice! Some feedback from my wife, who is into all manner of word games: she found it a little bit brute-forcey: needing to try all different combinations in order to get the right configuration of the word. In contrast to a crossword where there is already a layout, which gives her a hint for how to proceed with the rest.
(She finished today's puzzle, and I gave up.) From a UI perspective it is very slick - very smooth, and I like how it kind of "gets" what you were trying to do when providing corrections/hints.
>In contrast to a crossword
there's a type of crossword called "diagramless" where you have the numbered clues and an empty grid
there was one in NYTimes Magazine Sunday puzzle page this past weekend
Thats great feedback, thank you!
