Our self imposed handicapping system is not working - I'm trying to make the clues easier ( yesterdays wasn't a good clue in hindsight ) but it still seems to be you that solves most of them - I know what the problem is !!! IT'S YOU you are barred forthwith

I am trying to figure out how to train an AI to solve these and then I will feed it random words to see what answers it generates.
So far all I can come up with is
Requirements:
1. Answer must appear in dictionary
2. Length of answer matches number in ()
GEN?

GEN | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary[^]
It's from "general information" in military parlance, apparently.

After all this bashing Apple is thinking of changing its name into "Cider"

What was it they claimed a few years ago? "Courage"?

Sounds about right!

To err is human, to correct one's errors is divine. Let's see whether this will be a "you're holding it wrong" kind of situation, or whether this will be implemented.

That's not been my experience of the Apple users I know (they're mostly very critical of anything they perceive as not worthwhile) but if believing that makes you feel better, knock yourself out.
Oh, I'm a Windows+Android user, in case you were wondering.

Yeah, it is a bit dumb. It goes back to the days of the original Mac, when Apple made the decision to put the menubar at the top of the screen for some reason, instead of in each top-level window as Windows does, and they (and we) have been stuck with it ever since. They should have grasped the nettle when OS X first came out and changed it, IMO, but it's too late now.

Paul Sanders (the other one) wrote: put the menubar at the top of the screen As a Windows user, that sounds counter-intuitive.
Of course, Mac users probably think the same thing the first time they use a Windows machine.
Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe... let's use the ribbon.

That would be nice to know what new amazing feature you are talking about. Then I may shout with you or laugh about this ! I am looking forward to get a new MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro.

Menu Extras, soon to be released in the App Store (249.99$), will show the missing menu parts on your Apple Watch.

This bit of code will take an array int[] entries and some text (string or char array or whatever) and tell you whether the text matches the state machine stored in entries
I've effectively packed a DFA state machine into an array of ints, and very efficiently unpack it while matching/walking it because of the way it's encoded. Only downside is encoding the array takes two passes, but the passes are fast.
Here _FetchNextInput(cursor); simply fetches the next UTF32 codepoint off the text input (doing surrogate pair encoding in the process when necessary)
var cursor = text.GetEnumerator();
var ch = _FetchNextInput(cursor);
if (ch == -1) return -1!=entries[0];
var state = 0;
while (ch != -1)
{
var acc = entries[state++];
var tlen = entries[state++];
var m = false;
for (var i = 0; i < tlen; ++i)
{
var tto = entries[state++];
var prlen = entries[state++];
for (var j = 0; j < prlen; ++j)
{
var tmin = entries[state++];
var tmax = entries[state++];
if (ch >= tmin && ch <= tmax)
{
ch = _FetchNextInput(cursor);
if (ch == -1) return -1!=entries[tto];
state = tto;
i = tlen;
m = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (!m) return -1!=acc;
}
return false;
