From the Wordle thread:

Yeah, I've vaguely been doing Parseword for a week so. As someone who *hates* that I never quite got good enough at interpreting at such clues, framing as it educative was a smart move. Though in reality it may be the least efficient means of teaching anything in the entire history of mankind.

― Nag! Nag! Nag!

Yeah, I kinda feel the same way about cryptics. This puzzle might help with it, but idk. I've done the tutorials, and played the last two days. Just figured if the Worldle and Connections puzzles have their own threads, this one was bound to get its own.

(Sorry for the dumb thread title, feel free to rename)

Also, is anyone doing Parseword?

Initial write ups made me think it might be some unique new take on it, but it really is just stand-alone cryptic crossword clues with a 'fancy' online interface for solving them.

I do enjoy it though. I can never finish an entire cryptic crossword myself, so this single clue format at least gives me some daily satisfaction.

I was at the laundromat today while working on it. My time made me feel like I was truly at the top of the bell curve. IDK why it still says "Learn Mode" since I haven't done tutorials for days now

there's different modes available in the settings, with fewer hints (definition, word length).

Took me over 6 minutes today if that's any consolation naus.

It's very variable for me in terms of difficulty - it can be a few seconds reasonably often, then others its like this one that take me 5 mins plus. Mostly I hover around a minute I think, but it doesn't seem to track that in stats.
