What you can change with your DNA
When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:

- Fonts — two roles: a dramatic display font for the title and a tabular font for grid letters.
- Copy — puzzle title, atmospheric intro, full clue list with answers, and themed completion message.
- Images — optional film-poster-style illustration, texture, or border treatment.
- Behavior — grid size, clue count, helper availability, and feedback timing.
