Good job. But the scoring system seems a bit confusing. Seems as though your score ought to be higher if you were able to solve the puzzle in half the time as me.

Based on other crossword sites from the same engine, the scoring is 10 points for each word completed, minus 1 point for each hint used, and 15 bonus points for each full minute below 15 minutes completion time. That tracks with a 30 point difference. FWIW my time today was unusually fast, I'm using in the 5-6 minute range.

15 minutes does seem very generous, the only time I've taken that long has been when I open it in the background then read another article or two before coming back to the tab.

"Biden" fit in the spaces for "Wonderland Visitor' But didn't align with the crossing words. that's why my score was only 405.
