Crossword Twitch Overlay

The whole chat solves an American-style crossword together, harder every level.

A mod starts a freshly generated crossword, then anyone watching joins in: typing the answer in chat is enough. A hit scores points and fills the grid live for everyone. No stake, with a Rätselmeister leaderboard.

What this overlay does

// In short

Solving a crossword alone takes a while; with two hundred people every word falls in seconds. A mod starts with !raetsel, and a randomly generated interlocking grid appears with numbered cells and two clue lists, Across and Down. Everyone in chat joins in: just type the answer, for example HAUS, and the engine fills it at the matching clue, or target it with a number and direction like 3w HAUS. Input is forgiving, umlauts stay their own cells but gruen still counts for GRÜN. Every correct answer fills the grid live and scores the solver, longer and harder words count more. Once a grid is complete it rolls straight into the next, harder level: bigger grid, more words, rarer vocabulary and trickier, near-cryptic clues. 15 hand-built levels plus endless beyond, all extendable via config.js. No stake, and the internal Rätselmeister leaderboard crowns the best solver. The overlay fills the whole scene and is transparent while idle.

Or target it with a number and direction: 3w (across) or 2s (down)
