Why don't you just use an API or a GitHub repo?

Also you're not using for commercial gain, do maybe fair use for educational purposes?

@mrrobinhood5 Thanks, I didn't know about the nyt_crosswords. Maybe I'll add them at some point. But they seem to have a lot of US-specific clues, so I'm not interested in solving them myself... the real point of this project was just to give myself a nice interface for solving the Guardian crosswords, I'm making it public only because I'm nice like that. ;) I don't know if taking the whole crossword rather than a snippet can count as "fair use".

thanks a lot for this, works like a charm and has me hooked :)

@johan Thanks, that's nice to hear! @mrrobinhood5 I added a shortcut '#' to erase a clue, as well as a more useful version '|' which preserves letters from cross-clues. See the new help page for more.

Crossword — I just hacked together a simple Gemini UI for solving crosswords. Any thoughts on how readable and usable it is?
