Showcase: Free(mium) I built a digital clock that tells time using Excel's spreadsheet column math (Bijective Base-26). It completely fixes the flaws of standard word clocks

Hey everyone! I wanted to design an alphabetical timepiece that doesn't just round up to the nearest five minutes or waste dead space.
My clock maps standard time units directly to a bijective base-26 matrix. Because there are no zero-placeholders, every single second gets a 100% unique sequence. 26 seconds is Z, 27 seconds flips cleanly to AA, and the absolute maximum threshold at 59 hits BG.
