zeugmata9··on Battleships Logic Puzzle
Nice! In line with other apps like this (e.g. LinkedIn's queens), I think the grid should be marked complete once you have all the boats, without needing to mark all the water.
zeugmata9··on Show HN: What happens if you make a crossword out of Reddit r/gaming
Echoing what vunderba said, it's hard for me to enjoy this because I'm used to the symmetric layouts of e.g. the NYT and the satisfying flavor of their clues.

However, this is well done and it inspired a thought- I wonder if it would be possible to procedurally generate word games, such as a mini crossword or word ladder or so on, as part of a language learning regime? Think Duolingo but for word puzzle fans.

As an example, you solve a mini crossword every day where 80% of the clues/answers are in English, and 20% are drawn from a progressive set of vocabulary in the other language.

Made a simple word game: https://wordwheel-pied.vercel.app/

And went to a fun climate-themed hackathon, would like to make that a regular thing.
