Great post.

Funny, I just posted this to X

2025 GenAI challenge

Create a 5x5 crossword puzzle with two distinct solutions. Each clue must work for both solutions. Do not use the same word in both solutions. No black squares.

I try with each new model that lands. Still can’t get it.

korymath··on What I think about when I edit (2019)
I am not the author, and am sharing feedback because you asked with honest curiosity.

Your writing is not clear to me. Using the word “really” is extraneous. Using “I think” is also extraneous; I assumed these are your thoughts.

As the author notes, replace “it” with “the article”, or better yet a specific quote or idea distilled from the article.

Helped “my write” should be helped “me write”. You use two -ly adverbs, which could be avoided by restructuring the sentence.

You also have a list of two (succinct and clear) and then a single item (better understood). Consider breaking these two thoughts into separate sentences.
