Also two non-list words and one that wasn’t on the word list.

Took me a while, too. !cooking is not us, I guess
A lot of NYT games follow the crossword model and start easy on Monday and increase in difficulty over the week. That obviously doesn’t explain Saturday, though.
Yup. At this point, “locally installed, reliable, parametric modeling on Linux” = “FreeCAD, including Ondsel, and SolveSpace”. That’s it. Well, there’s code-to-CAD as well, which obviously retains parametric history, but goes about it very differently than a design tree.
For non-parametric modeling, BricsCAD and Plasticity enter the discussion. For parametric on the web, OnShape works very well but I hate their licensing scheme and the huge doughnut hole in their pricing model.

Feel like NYT needs to refine the rules a bit on this game, or maybe just track the time.
I think the guide I did at !cad@lemmy.world is still in pretty decent shape.
I actually settled on Alibre Design. Permanent license at half the cost of a year of OnShape for a slightly dated but very capable parametric modeler, and the free trial made Parametric modeling click for me in a way FreeCAD didn’t. It comes with a renderer of a similar class, though I haven’t tried that yet. Changing colors of parts has been enough for my needs.
FreeCAD has apparently fixed the topological naming issue, one of the big things that was keeping them so far behind the commercial suites. It’s already in the weekly builds, along with several other enhancements pioneered in the Realthunder fork, including UI enhancements and a default Assembly workbench. Version 1 is going to come out in the late summer or early fall, I think. Ondsel is FreeCAD but they have some venture funding to pay developers to work on the main project and to bolt-on an optional paid PDM system (download from their GitHub and you don’t have to sign up for anything). I had some crashing issues on both Windows and Linux when trying to import DXF files into either flavor, and as you say, there’s still that learning curve, but I can get a part done in it now if I need to.
SolveSpace can do some nice things and will teach you good techniques.
I had the same issues as you with OnShape, particularly since their free licensing is very weird, and in the worst case it implies that while YOU must use your designs non-commercially, no one else is similarly bound. It’s sloppy legal drafting, and that annoys the little black kernel of lawyerness still sunk down in my heart. Fusion has become the poster child for free feature erosion and price hikes.
BricsCAD Shape is a basically an AutoCAD clone warped and twisted to act like SketchUp, and it works on Linux. It’s meant to be the tease to get people into their full-suite ecosystem, but I couldn’t find any legal limitations on the free version.
Depending on what it is you’re scanning, the people mentioning Blender may have a good point.
Shapr3D at $300/year might also be a good option.
Finally, for your particular workflow, Plasticity at $150 permanent license may hit the exact sweet spot. Definitely try their free trial. Some of the other programs I tried are also interesting.
I’ve done a couple of boards worth of lasering dye-sublimation markers into PBT keycaps. It comes out pretty nice, and blanks from Amazon or AliExpress are cheap.
Reminds me of Meow Wolf.

This game-type really benefits from being on a screen. I always hated them in newspapers.

Theme word had a little sibling that also crossed the whole board. Otherwise would have made it through clean.

If you’re allowed to have flash media, KMK as mentioned elsewhere just lives on the microcontroller as a python script, and the keymap is very human readable. I have made everything from a 4x3 macropad to a 102-key compact 1800 with it.
What kind of board are they going in? Tall, thick-walled, and spherical doesn’t often go with shinethrough, but it can happen. On the budget end, the “QX SA” that goes by several names can be had in a translucent pudding-esque style. I reckon the blend is mostly ABS though, regardless of what the Amazon listing says.
