Spelling Riddle – Think Spellbee with crossword clue and visual hint

Every word pairs a crossword-style text clue with an image hint generated and linted by an LLM/image pipeline — that's a clever UX twist that forces semantic reasoning instead of guesswork. The creator also built a nontrivial quality pipeline (Swiss-style LLM matches + Wilson lower-bound scoring) to pick good puzzle words, which is an uncommon level of rigor for a hobby game. UI shows thoughtful interactions (hint taps reveal/remove letters, center-letter rule, PWA install), though clarity around image provenance and accessibility could be tighter.
