Then there's the clue to 37 Accross, "Scrub spots, for short". SPOILER... Stop reading if you don't want the answer. SPOILER... The answer is "ORS". Even knowing the answer, it took me a minute to figure out the connection to the clue. I guess it's fair, but I thought it was an extremely difficult clue.

I tried the Wall Street Journal Feb 19, 2025 crossword. Got about 75%, but then stuck.
There's many clues where either you know the fact or you'll never get it (e.g. "Chief of the Iowa tribe until 1834"). I suppose this is fair for a challenging crossword.
There's many 2-word answers that aren't flagged in the clue. Is this fair or just lazy writing?

I discovered a website that has a huge library of Nonogram puzzles that you can play online and print on paper for offline play.
They take user submissions (and they pay submitters) - cool. However, when reading about that, the FAQ gave me the distinct impression the website owners don't investigate plagiarism claims, and in fact they tacitly encourage stealing from other sources as that's mostly how they have such a huge library of puzzles.
