daveoshawrus··on Show HN: Updated – A dual crossword puzzle where two crosswords share one grid
Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. You can actually use as many hints as you want! It's 3 hints total for each clue, where the 3rd hint fills in the word, but you can do the same again on the other clues.

Please let me know if that wasn't the case, or any other suggestions. Really appreciate you giving it a go, thanks

Really appreciate all the valuable feedback from everyone so far. New puzzles are published every day, so feel free to play more during this week and let me know what you think. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the feedback. The additional factor which changes it from just two crosswords which happen to have the exact same grid is of course the shared letters as you said (the amount of these varies from puzzle to puzzle), but also it's that the clues are fully themed internally and connected to the other theme. Obviously I appreciate that it's not necessarily for everyone, and I appreciate the honest criticism. Cheers

Would you mind trying now? If it still doesn't work, it could be Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection blocking Supabase. Thank you for the feedback.
