JS Crossword 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. The final answer consists 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 below.
