Show HN: Intersections – A Daily Word Game

I enjoyed it. Not sure what happens if you put an answer in wrong, does it validate as you go? The dynamic was satisfying in that it gets easier as you go.

Not a bad concept, but there's an unwritten rule in most puzzles that the clue and answer can't overlap. Really messed with me for shark tank.

Meanwhile, and I say this as someone who plays a lot of puzzles, this feels distinctly unfair? Too many valid positions for each answer, which makes it more sodoku like but without the ability to validate against concrete rules. Forces a full mental layout of every possible position to find the one(?) Valid layout.
