Not a bad concept, but there's an unwritten rule in most puzzles that the clue and answer can't overlap. Really messed with me for shark tank.

Meanwhile, and I say this as someone who plays a lot of puzzles, this feels distinctly unfair? Too many valid positions for each answer, which makes it more sodoku like but without the ability to validate against concrete rules. Forces a full mental layout of every possible position to find the one(?) Valid layout.
