Web player — loading, empty, error and overlays
The states a screen passes through before it has anything to show, the two ways it can have nothing to show, and the overlays that sit on top of a screen rather than replacing it. Every destination carries its own version of the first three; drawn here on Today, Puzzles and Ranks, where they read most clearly.
Splash · first paint index.html #splash · splash.ts · .pf-splash in index.css Shipped in the HTML document itself, not by React, so a cold visit is never a blank page. Four cells drop into a crossword and the red Q lands last; the reveal is allowed to finish rather than being cut off, and it covers the app until the session has settled — including when bootstrap failed, which is what hands the screen to the service notice.

Loading PuzzleSkeleton.tsx · PuzzleListSkeleton.tsx · .pf-skel Skeletons in the shape of what is coming, so the page does not reflow when it arrives. Each list announces itself once to assistive technology rather than per row, and Solve's board skeleton holds the real grid's geometry — the cells are already the right size before the payload lands.

Empty Today.tsx · today.empty, catalog.empty A language with no daily scheduled for the date — the reason the CMS's Daily grid exists. Genuinely empty only when the day produced nothing at all: a day can carry archive variants without a scheduled daily, and those are still today's puzzles, so the hero goes and the lists below stay.

Error format.ts errorKey() · ServiceNotice.tsx Every RPC failure is mapped from its Connect code to one translated sentence — nothing ever surfaces a status number or a stack. A whole-service outage takes the notice at the top; a single failed call takes the coral line in place of the list it was going to fill.

Ranks — guest & unranked Ranks.tsx · leaderboard.signInToCompete, notRankedYet Two different absences with two different sentences: a guest has no account to rank, a registered player with no solves has nothing to rank yet. The board itself stays visible in both, because it is worth reading before you are on it.

Reveal the whole solution?

This fills in every answer and spends hints. You can't undo it.

Reveal confirmation Solve.tsx · play.revealAllTitle The one destructive action inside a puzzle, so it asks first — and says what it costs, because revealing spends hints. Cancel takes focus when the dialog opens; the whole grid is filled server-side, which is also what marks the puzzle solved.

Report a bug

Tell us what happened and how we can reproduce it.

The clue bar covers the bottom row of a 15×15 on a small phone. Open Sunday Standard, tap a cell in the last row, and the clue bar sits over it.

Feedback components/FeedbackLinks.tsx (FeedbackDialog) · About.tsx Report a bug and Request a feature share one dialog with two headings. Name and e-mail are optional and the disclosure says plainly where the text goes — a private GitHub issue, which is also what the CMS's Feedback inbox reads. It renders inside the browser's modal top layer so About's own dialog cannot trap it behind itself.

When the hint balance is zero

And in You → Privacy

No ads are requested for paid ad-free accounts, and none at all until the advertising consent is granted.

Advertising surfaces ads/AdCard.tsx · ads/RewardedHintButton.tsx · ads/runtime.ts The web's three ad surfaces: an in-feed AdSense card, a post-solve interstitial, and a rewarded button that appears only when the balance is actually zero. All three are gated on consent, a paid ad-free account, and a configured AdSense client — which this repo does not set, so nothing renders today. The card has no styling in index.css either; this frame draws its structure, not a shipped look.

Toast ui/Toast.tsx · store.say() The one transient channel: an offline save confirmed, a link copied, a PDF downloaded, a setting that failed and was rolled back. It sits above the tab bar, announces itself politely rather than stealing focus, and never carries an action — anything you can act on gets a dialog or an inline message instead.
