Oh thanks! I saw Leaf Taker suggested on Thinky Games discord, definitely interested in checking it out! Now I just need time to play some games…

One idea would be to keep the difficulty not too hard throughout the week, and offer harder puzzles to fans via the newsletter and paid packs. I like the hard ones, so I’m happy as is - but I would still enjoy easy ones daily, and it might be easier for new folks to build a habit.

I don’t know about changing the color of the blank spaces, since the problem was with the color of the fillable spaces being changed by the extension. But I’ll keep the X in mind if I add more granular settings, definitely.

Okay phew! Thanks for checking. As far as I know there’s nothing I can do on my side to prevent people running into this, but maybe I’ll put a note in the description in case it happens to anyone else.

I did it y'all, I finished the puzzles for the rest of this week! Now I'm all excited for people to read the story!

My special anti-procrastination technique: I put a cute little wand icon on the archive page that only appears if the whole week's puzzles are uploaded. Just gotta keep that around! 😆

Do you have a dark mode extension on your browser by any chance? It's supposed to look like this.

Is that because spaces are too similar to the letters when the letters are placed? I can do that.

As a game jammer, I believe in doing the best you can right now and putting it out there, rather than sitting around trying to make things perfect. So I'm relying on that last-minute gamejam energy for now. But I do intend to force myself to get into a better writing rhythm... Soon. 😂

Writing the article snippets for The Daily Spell really is an interesting challenge - I want the stories to be short, and have intriguing world-building, and have fun drama, and end on a high note on Sunday, but be ready to switch to a new story on Monday, and did I mention not be too long...

Another daily word game is Daily Spell! The goal is to spell a headline and reveal the newspaper story. It’s by jamwitch, who have made a couple other cute, free puzzle games featured in our database!

Whoops, that was definitely not what I meant to happen! Fixed now. Thanks so much for letting me know!
