what was the hardest part of the puzzle validation logic detecting unique solutions or handling edge cases in user input?

Love it. Inspiring me to upgrade my puzzle game site.

The homepage is a little overwhelming, other than that cool site

Good feedback. I've struggled with it honestly. Trying to make a good user experience, but it's tricky with 10 puzzles types and more coming. Is it the amount of puzzles that feels that way?

No, it is mostly the topbar and the blank space for some reason, maybe make the games more centric to the homepage? I am not very good at describing things

Gotcha, I appreciate the feedback. I'll see what I can do.

More clarification: The topbar, the newspaper asthetic

Are you blocking Tor?

Checked on it and I'm not blocking Tor. Are you getting issues? Maybe it's not handling the boost in traffic from this post

Not behind Tor here, but I just got a "406 Not Acceptable" with "Your browser is not supported". I'm running Firefox here, but on an older machine with an ESR v115 release. Does your site use particular functionality not supported in older Firefox?

Alrighty, I figured it out. You should be able to use it now. It's because I'm using Tailwind CSS version 4 and some of the things won't look perfectly in that browser version, but the site should be functional now for ya!

Hmmm, if it is, I wasn't aware of it. Let me look into my rate-limiting settings that might block something like that.

I hate that it immediately flags your errors. First, because it doesn't forgive the casual finger slipping or forgetting if you are in pen or pencil mode. And then because it partially gives away the solution.

I also hate ads in games, ... and as another serious restriction I only play on thumb slide games (think 2048) that just make me think enough (i want to relax) so I and Fable 5 developed https://squishy.franzai.com/ (Design is Opus 4.8, iOS Frame also Opus 4.8 - as Fable was gone by then).

Now waiting already for a week for Apple greenlighting my iOS update for the level builder...

Or you could use https://krazydad.com/ which has been around for decades, contains interesting puzzles many of which are types the author invented, and isn't AI slop.

eventually hosting costs money, so ads will be needed
