Neat idea. One suggestion: Study what the creators of the Mini crosswords on the New York Times website do with their clues. Your clues seem to be all straight dictionary definitions, which will get boring after a while. The Minis balance straight definitions with puns, cryptic clues, fill-in-the-blanks, etc. For example, today’s Mini has the following clues and answers: Palidromic AP subject: STATS Palindromic carpentry tool: LEVEL Pleasant smell: AROMA Experiences on acid: TRIPS You are here: EARTH Rock used as a roofing material: SLATE ______ firma: TERRA French "to have": AVOIR Entice: TEMPT One of two in 7/29/22: SLASH I’m sure it takes time and creativity to come up with such clues. But the clues are one of the things that keep me, at least, returning to the puzzle each day. The other is the level of difficulty. I am able to complete maybe 70 percent of the Minis in under a minute, 20 percent in over a minute, and 10 percent not at all. That yields a good balance between satisfaction and frustration. Good luck!
