The answers words go on to create a phrase referred to by the cryptic title of each puzzle.Built this in 4 weeks with React/TypeScript. Launched 3 days ago, now have 36 players across 15 countries.Today I added a cricket-themed puzzle targeting India (every word has double meaning - cricket AND romance).Technical details: - 4300-line React component (yes, needs refactoring) - Zero-downtime blue-green deployments - PWA with offline support - localStorage for game stateBiggest challenge: The mecha
