That is how I imagined it. It felt there must have been some human element. I appreciate your effort.

Initially I thought I would feel cheated and the solution must require knowledge of some obscure scrabble player only words. I was pleased the solutions felt honest. For that reason I don't think you should offer an option to give up and reveal the answers.

How is the puzzle generation? can you fully automate generating good puzzles or do you tune them by hand?

I really enjoyed this, and hope to continue doing so.

It's not government mandated. It's a defacto requirement as all commercial broadcasters require it but that their commercial choice not government.

What's actually illegal in law to broadcast is very different from what you practically cant due to the theoretically voluntary codes. Even that guidance is broad but hard to argue with "Advertisements must contain nothing that could cause physical, mental, moral or social harm to persons under the age of 18." No reasonable person would argue you should be allowed to do that.
