Lots of room to improve. Start with a README and CI.
An interactive web application for the game of Jeopardy that runs locally on your computer. Build custom game boards through a form or upload existing text files for quick setup.
A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code
Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to D (65).

Add automated tests. They prove the code works and give contributors confidence to make changes.
- 2CI/CD14pt
If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.
- 3README12pt
Link to a deployed version, docs site, or demo video. Users want to see it running.

Add CI/build status badges from shields.io or your CI provider to signal project health.
Working through the fixes? Let every push regrade itself.
The free GitHub App rescans this repo on every push and posts the grade as a commit check, so the score climbs without coming back to rescan by hand.
