I was annoyed that Exolve Player could not parse Guardian #cryptic #29,747 from just the text of the clues.

Yes, for most standard blocked #crosswords, it can create an interactive solver from just the text of the clues.

So I tweaked it, and now it can parse it (it can now also handle a few more cases involving linked clues).

Give it a go, try with just the text of the clues from any #crossword:
