Too bad I couldn’t view the whole puzzle as the last line was cut off!

How are we able to use puzzle? Can’t see entire puzzle because it’s covered by the description of the author Adrienne Raphel. Hard to scroll on edges. Whoever designed this monthly puzzle needs to tell us what kind of computer or device it is supposed to be used on. It doesn’t display correctly on my ipad pro nor my iphone 15.
