What the bank is
minicrossword.com describes its unlimited mode as generated practice, separate from the edited daily. playminicrossword.com says its extra puzzles cover 5×5, 6×6, and 7×7. word.tips talks about one mini per calendar day, so its “unlimited” wording is not a second puzzle. I am not copying any of those grids. The board on this page is one of fourteen original 5×5 puzzles whose entries were checked so every across word and every down word is a real word in the grid. The same fourteen are also the dated archive, because they are the puzzles that exist. I would rather say that plainly than pretend a random button invents a new theme.
Use Next, Random, or the puzzle selector above the board to change grids without waiting for a new day. All fourteen 5×5 choices stay on this URL; they do not generate separate indexable random pages. The 7×7 page has two word-square layouts. There is no 6×6 URL.
How a new day gets added
A scheduled job looks for the next calendar date. It may publish a grid only when every answer already has a clue in the on-site list. If it cannot build that grid, it leaves the date missing. It does not borrow a newspaper’s clues to fill the hole. Until that job has published more than these fourteen, unlimited play means replaying the bank, not an infinite generator.
