This is brilliant!
The word choices are not only interesting in terms of layout but have meaning with the theme and "story". Even the music sets the mood. The level titles are great hints. I've never played anything quite like this, and I wonder if the concept could be expanded to other themes and made into a larger game with more levels? It's infused with meaning in interesting ways and I want to play more of it. :) Anyhow, good stuff.
"Theseus" was tough, but I liked how I stumbled onto "cope" as a part of the puzzle on the way to finishing it.
(Sort of felt Baba-Is-You-ish, but simpler and from the land of crosswords.)
