   Yes, I tried a while back to use LLMs for both the grid fill and the clue writing but was not able to generate dense puzzles. This pipeline uses a Rust fill engine that fills hundreds of candidate grids using a scored word list. Thanks for

    I'm a big fan of word games and I gave this a quick try. At a glance some of the games are a bit confusing and could use a pop-up explaining game play for first time users. What are you storing in Supabase? I've also AI coded a co
