I usually solve the across words with the clues and then try to do the down words without the clues.
It would be nice if the board were a little bigger to give you more room to try and organize the wordlets (not sure what to call the letter groups?) and try different arrangements.
Oh that's an interesting play style! It's fun to learn about the challenges players layer on to the base game.
Good feedback about the board size... that's tricky. The problem is that many people play on their phones with small screens. If I increase the grid size then each individual tile shrinks. In my testing that can make it harder for people with poor vision to read the tiles and also make it harder to use the touch controls.
But, I agree on desktop it would be really nice to have more space. I may explore letting people configure the grid size when they submit custom puzzles and use that as a test of larger grids!
I play on full size Ipad, FWIW. You might be able to check viewport size and scale accordingly?
For sure, the tricky thing there is that people share their scores and compete.
It seems unfair to give a larger grid to some players than others.
