Irritating. ### 1/5 — buggy and sometimes bad clues *2026-01-12* The answer for "Japanese dish of skewered meat" was "satay." Which is not Japanese. Also occasionally the puzzle changes into a new puzzle *as you're playing it* which took me a while to figure out that was a glitch not fun gameplay. ### 3/5 — Ok *2026-01-04* Fairly easy crosswords. Too many repetitive words and clues.
