    I’m gamely trying a puzzle for the first time. Is there a simple way to flip the clues between horizontal and vertical? It seems like there should be but alas, I did not find it.

      If you’re on a keyboard, you can use the down (vertical) or right (horizontal) arrows. I think on mobile it switches if you tap the square you’re on.

    Thought 2 down was “gay up” at first and was gratified to find that 2 letters would still have been correct!
