How the AI designs a puzzle

Model drafts 14-18 themed entries (word + clue) — they must share letters at the intersections it picks.
A Python solver places them on an 11×11 grid, validates every intersection, retries with new entries if anything clashes.
Renders to styled HTML with the completed grid, across + down clues, and answers.
