Hunt puzzles
I write hunt puzzles sometimes! Here are some of my favourite puzzles I've written; each of them has a final answer which is a single English word or phrase.
- Dimmed Wits (PDF) (SPH 2020): a puzzle about hypothetical puzzlers in an alternate universe.
- White as a Sheet (Silph 2021): a puzzle that seems like it gives you nothing to work with.
- The Minimeta that Goes Wrong (Silph 2021): a chaotic minimeta where the constructor can't seem to catch a break.
- Six Feet Under (Silph 2021): a labyrinthine collection of footnotes.
- Re-actions (Silph 2021): a tough-as-nails cryptic crossword where you'll have to figure out how the clues fit together.
Cryptic crosswords
These are cryptic crosswords with no hunt-style "final answer", though usually they have instructions for extracting one or more phrases from the grid.
- The Two-Trench Truce (PDF), written around the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
- Choose Your Path (PDF), written around the time of Undertale's release on the Switch. (Spoiler warning!)
- Hexed Again! (PDF), written as part of a Secret Santa puzzle exchange for Christmas 2019.
