# JS Crossword Source: [https://lyra.horse/fun/jscrossword/](https://lyra.horse/fun/jscrossword/) *a crossword where the clue = eval\(answer\)* Welcome to JS Crossword\! Every clue is a JS eval of its answer \- for example,`7`could be solved with`3\+4`and`\[object Object\]`could be solved with`\[\]\+\{\}`\. This crossword uses some lesser\-known and cursed JS features, so I'd recommend it for people already somewhat familiar with JavaScript\. You're allowed to use the following characters:`A\-Za\-z0\-9\!"\(\)\*\+\-\./<=\>\[\]\`\{\}`\. This means that no spaces \(empty squares\), commas, or semicolons are allowed to be used\. The crossword is case\-sensitive\. Thefinal answerconsists only of english words, so it must match`A\-Za\-z`\. Your answers will be evaluated within an`eval\(\)`sandbox, you can try it out at the[playground](https://lyra.horse/fun/jscrossword/#playground-input)below\. You're of course also allowed to use other resources, such as DevTools, MDN, searching etc\. This crossword is human\-made, so if you solve it with AI you're lame, learn to have fun\. You can change the writing direction by clicking a square or pressing ctrl\. Your progress is saved locally\.
