One more thing: Besides the obvious that clues and answers should make sense can you provide some insights in what makes a good crossword to you? I'd love to hear that from someone playing them for 30 years!

For me, a mixed crossword between all games doesn't make sense. You could give me 20 crosswords with Dota stuff in it and I would be able to solve 0, not even with hints it would be doable.

So maybe rather have some for League, some for CS, etc? Maybe you can do a mixed indie one with very popular games, or mixed Shooter. But then the questions have to be less difficult :D

TY for the feedback. I see what you are saying about the crossword getting too niche. For now this is mostly a technical decision since its easier to train on a more specific dataset. However i agree with you that the dataset should be expanded once the quality is there

Niche is fine, but mixing 3 niches is not.

Sorry I can't help, I've been playing video games for 30 years not crosswords :) I'd be keen the hear the same insights as you are.

Oh, I misread your first comment. Thought you were playing crosswords for 30 years that would've been a knowledge goldmine
