What it does

Only clues with tight crossing patterns reach Jev. A separate language model handles regions where the wordlist cannot supply plausible candidates.

How you can use it

For a crossword helper, ask a developer to follow this project's rule that letters must agree where words cross. Once two letters are known, AI ranks words from a short list. Another AI fills the remaining areas, then a web search tackles blanks. The code checks the crossings instead of trusting every word the AI suggests.
