2 ways so far to resolve in our css

1. change this .start-card-shell so it is justified to the top vs. center
2. From Particle: "dug a little bit into this with the nightly and saw that the .crossword-frame style was using flex: 1, but the iframe’s computed min-height was still auto. Since the iframe had no explicit height, it seems like it was falling back to 150px, and the automatic minimum size was preventing it from shrinking to the available medium height.

I tested adding min-block-size: 0 to .crossword-frame in DevTools. The iframe immediately resized from 311.25 × 150 to 311.25 × 74.75, and the widget fit the wrapper correctly."
