Looks like there's a bit more information (but no comments) in the previous post:

(A small number of reposts is fine - I'm just pointing to that one because it looks like there are more instructions there)

Thank you. I didn’t have the tutorial in the game before so I opted to put some tutorial text in the previous post.

Glad that you allow a couple reposts. This is a good example of that policy doing some good! My prior post didn’t get any traction so I’m glad to get some eyes on it this time around.

I think I get it, but could you please add a video tutorial?

Here’s a video of me solving a 5x5. There’s also the question mark button in the top right of the game which has some more info!

I've got rubiks skills, but once I moved up past 3x3 the crossword clues were super opaque to me. Very fun, though, and I'm not above googling the clue to find hints. Finished one 5x5 so far, but those 15x15s are super intimidating!

Agree, I clicked on a few 5x5s and too many of the clues required knowledge that I simply _don't have_. Very cool concept though, I have some experience with cubing but none of the theory behind it, and this is an easier space to derive commutators and the like.

You can check out the source code here: https://github.com/matttt/slidecross

I don't see a license. Is this just source available?

I’m not familiar with licenses really. I should look into that. I guess what I want is for people to be able to use it but not republish it as their own without modification.
