New puzzles added for 2026

[admin]

Just a quick update to let everyone know that we've added a big batch of new puzzles (with new stories and categories) to the site, increasing the previous puzzle count by about 42%. So you should expect to see quite a few puzzles for the next few months with no "Previous Solvers" data. It'll take about 3-4 months for that to build up.

As always with any new updates, please let me know either here or by email to puzzlebaron@gmail.com if you notice any issues with the new puzzles.

Enjoy!
Stephen

Thank you so much. It certainly increases the challenge.

Woot! I just played one, it was so exciting I had trouble concentrating lol. Thank you thank you!

Love that we've got lots of new puzzle themes. That said, the new puzzle seems to put people's names in the right-most column, while all the older puzzles put them in the left-most column. Is it possible to configure the new puzzles that way? Just makes it easier to know where to look when you're populating the grid.

Thank you so much! I'm beyond excited to try the new ones.

I like getting top scores! This never happens when everyone has gotten to them before me. I know it's short lived but love it anyway.

Just wanted to show my appreciation for the new puzzles - I am LOVING them!!!

Oh my gosh. Just had a top score. I know it won't last (and it actually wasn't a super great solve - I second guessed myself at one point and backtracked) but...made my day! Thanks!

Seconding this! I’m enjoying the new puzzles but the layout change is disorienting.
