I posted to another board, but was told to post here as well.
I made a Wordle variant, “Crosswordle,” where you play 10 interleaved Wordles simultaneously to fill in a crossword puzzle. https://crosswordle.xyz/
Hope you enjoy, and let me know if you have feedback!

Cool! I don't know whether this was a fluke, but there were a lot of repeated letters along the diagonals from southwest to northeast.

I liked this blending of Crosswords and Wordle. Now if we could just throw Spelling Bee in there somehow we'd have one-stop shopping!

Tried it yesterday for the first time -- learned how to get the image today.
Thanks, @crswenson. I especially like the way it's very forgiving -- if I didn't get it going across in time, it still let me fill in going down. Think I'll add it to my morning workout.

Can you share how you got the image to post? Do I need a copy on a hosting site to link to or can I directly add it here?

Sorry -- out enjoying the 67 degree weather since we're getting 9 inches of snow on Friday!
After completion, there was a box that said Image below. I either scrolled down past that. or clicked on it, can't remember. That brought up the grid pics. I did my usual Boo Radley snipping to get something to post. While I'll keep playing, I'll probably not keep posting the grids, because it begins to look like so much gobbledegook to me.
But if I begin to see magnificent visions in them........

On most mobile browsers there’s now a “Sharrow” next to the score so you can tap that and then save the image or share. But otherwise the images section will also let you download them on desktop Chrome etc.
The image isn’t super important, really the score itself is pretty telling.
