Hello, all! Here is Monday’s puzzle! Still best viewed on desktop for now and thank you everyone who mentions all the bugs. Everything reported has been added to the dev board!
Instructions:
-
Solve the grid using the clues provided. The direction of the word is indicated by the number around the grid (so some words are backwards).
-
After you complete the grid, click the pencil icon tab at the bottom to switch over to solve the anagram. The title is a hint to the anagram!
That’s completely fair! Because there are so few clues, I tend to try and combine some easier clues with more obfuscated ones. With games like Wordle, I feel like when I solve it in 20-30 seconds it feels underwhelming, so I try to include a few clues that give pause for thought and a bit more of a sense of accomplishment when solved. I think this one was a touch heavy on the trickier clues though.
The hardest thing about making these puzzles is being so restricted by the letters I can use for each puzzle. I used to include three-letter country codes in my grids, but eventually deemed them a bit unfair for the average solver. That said, I eventually want to be able to let people opt in to obscure knowledge that they know, so I can provide puzzles I’ve only been able to create that have those obscure acronyms and terms in them!
