Can I suggest that, there should be two categories.

any%: Anything goes. Complete the crossword as fast as possible. noscript% or something like that: Complete the crossword without the help of external scripts. Other rules may apply.

Thanks for bringing this up. After talking to Cytruss we've decided to split into 2 categories Any% restricted and unrestricted. Now to have your run submitted to restricted we require you show keyboard cam somewhere in your submission.

This sounds fair, because you never know what kind of sources someone uses to solve the crossword. Adding a video demonstration of what are you doing in real time could solve this problem, but I don't think that it's ideal, people will still find ways how to trick it. Usually, I solve crosswords only for myself, and sometimes it's hard to find an answer for all the questions. It's depressing when I am stuck and can't move forward, and in cases like this I use https://crossword-solver.io/clue/turkish-title/ for some help.

I absolutely agree with the opinion that a clear separation should be made between those who use certain platforms with clues to solve the crossword puzzle and those who try to solve them completely on their own. They need to be evaluated differently. I'll be honest with you, I often use hint platforms because I don't have much free time to think about the right answer. But I also can't leave the case unfinished, so it is imperative to solve the crossword puzzle, often this happens with the help of a german article crossword https://crossword-solver.io/clue/german-article/.

lol this was done a year and a half ago and i think no one is against at all so yea
