This was a really good puzzle, thanks 😄

Thanks to @0x57e11a for posting the solution, otherwise I would have never finished 23 (didn't know about "Spread syntax"), and I would have spent the evening on 8 and 14 (I was so focused that it didn't occur to me that Document/document and Window/window are completely different objects).

it took me way too long to figure out the tagged template literal trick, and that assignments are answers. while they're expressions, for some reason it felt like this should be stateless ^^;]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://xyzzy.link/objects/58a27890-d427-4223-a661-b35d838a4755https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://xyzzy.link/objects/58a27890-d427-4223-a661-b35d838a4755Mon, 25 May 2026 11:08:04 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to i made a new game called js crossword where you have to solve it by literally writing javascript code that eval()'s into the correct values! on Mon, 25 May 2026 10:18:17 GMT]]>@rebane2001 Nice!

Btw, for some reason, when I want to fill in a word across, the cursor goes down, and when I want to fill downward, the cursor goes across.

  • several hours
  • going into v8 source code
  • reading ecmascript spec

summary execution for whoever made 23 across possible… spreading a string was the last thing it thought would be valid

I think I got pretty far. I'm especially proud of guessing 'with', looking it up, and learning it's deprecated. That and using E as both Euler's number and hexadecimal for 14.

  1. The clues don't seem to be in the normal crossword order, which is very confusing when cross-referencing with the list. I have not solved all the way so maybe this means something, but a first guess of "clues to solve first" is very wrong. Re-numbering them might be nice if there is no meaning.
  2. The current indicator for "which way will the next character input" is a little jank when there is no clue in the currently selected direction; only the pale-yellow off-axis one shows up and there is no main-axis highlight. I can see an argument for keeping it this way, or always doing a bright yellow main-axis highlight, using the highlights in the clue box to know what's actually under consideration.
  3. On Safari, the prefilled characters are "gray on light grey" (low contrast) while on Firefox they are "black on grey" (higher contrast). Not sure if this is intentional but mostly a nit

overall i am finding challenging but doable, working from filled-in definitely helps thanks
