Every clue has two answers. The grid decides where they live.
A little daily crossword with a crooked heart.
βBig cat (4)β might be LION and PUMA. Each clue owns two twin slots of the same length β mirror images across the grid. The clue never says which answer lives where.
Type letters anywhere β pencil marks are free and private. Placement is proved by the crossings: if a crossing pair writes a U into a square either way round, whatever crosses it must agree.
Locking is the only test. Right words in the right homes lock green forever. Right words, wrong homes β thatβs a strike, and the fix is free knowledge. Anything else is a strike too, with a hint about which words belong. The fourth lamp ends the day.
Stuck? The π‘ chisel buys one letter for a strike. The π almanac settles a pair for free β but the day is marked assisted.
The clue tells you the two words.
The grid tells you their homes.
