Last Washington Post Crossword Issue #102

Closed johnroven closed 1 year ago

johnroven commented 1 year ago

On March 5th, WP uploaded a new crossword that includes black squares with letters in them. It causes issues. For example, for a clue "22 Eldest daughter on "The Brady Bunch"", it provides answer "MARCIALONE" insead of "MARC" or "MARCIA".

Cool puzzle! Seeing as it uses features that the .puz file format doesn't support, this is something that xword-dl can't and won't be able to handle. There are some instances where an unusual puzzle highlights some default behavior that xword-dl should do differently, but I don't think this is one of those.
