The prompt

Make 5×5 mini crosswords in one HTML file. Fill grids with common words using a backtracking filler that checks every across and down entry is a real word, then write a short clue for each answer. Tap to select, tap again to change direction, an on-screen keyboard, clue bar and clue lists, check and reveal, a timer, saved progress, and a daily mini that rotates.
