Enter an answer, cross it with the letters you already trust, and let the small grid narrow the possibilities.

Select a tech-themed mini crossword, read its Across and Down clues, and submit answers with commands like `1a LOOP` or `1d VIM`. Clear an entry when a guess needs a rethink, or spend points for a hint.

The terminal keeps the puzzle compact and explicit: clue number, direction, answer, board.
