Ah, but will using easy mode break my streak in the app? I’m at 1174 days as of today.

(EDIT: I originally wrote 1178).

Games Magazine has had something like this for years “The World’s Most Ornery Crossword” has a big grid with a separate page containing easy clues, which you can hide by folding the page.

Would love it they had “look, it’s four letters. You know it’s fucking Oreo or aloe - just pick one” as a clue.

As a non-American that’s fine with looking up the answers to US-centric questions, but would rather not, having access to an alternate set of clues looks like a much better compromise.
