I'm not sure if all that's to do is fill out the crossword correctly, it does say 'more than a crossword' on the had.io main page.

So I tried out several things so far but to no avail. Is it cheating or spoiling or confusing to others if I start discussing this here before the "contest" is over?

  Are you sure? yes | no

NVM, I got some letters wrong.

Those projects exist, you're not looking in the right place.

The Across/Down issues appear legit.

Errors I have identified so far:

Across:

66: I created the polio vaccine (likely 9).

 - 66 is DOWN not ACROSS on the pdf

75: I hold a charge ????? 

 - 75 is DOWN not ACROSS on the pdf

76: these transforms helped a Billy Bass become Alexa in project #73048 (7)

 - project not found

Down:

7: this lights up project #179361 (3) 

 - project not found

19: project #176246 uses 26 of them (10)

 - project not found

42: what type of bot featured in project #7792 was written in Energia? (3)

  - project not found

Will you be issuing corrections?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Johannes wrote 07/21/2021 at 06:18 point

Across/Down seems to be correct if you look at the pdfs.
I'm tearing my hair out over this puzzle, I am sure I got it right but it doesn't resolve.

  Are you sure? yes | no

The circles don't appear in both the PDFs.
