    Yeah, I like crosswords as a concept, but so many puzzles have prompts like “Jebuses’ Dad’s cousin, thrice removed”.

    How would I ever just know the answer to that? And even if I work out most of the intersecting letters, it’s some random name/word in a foreign language, so there’s no way I’ll guess the rest.
    It’s just a dead-end in the word crossing logic, which is quite shite.

    I’ve been doing this stupid math daily game about making a number out of four fours. The page for it is clearly jank and vibecoded but it’s an interesting concept so I’ve been looking past it.

    Well, yesterday’s number (147) was literally impossible. I tried for hours, then started reading math papers about the problem and all solutions I could find had the repeating/overline operator. Which doesn’t exist as an input option on the stupid puzzle site.
