Maker’s note
Each group is worth 200 to 350 points, the trickier the group the more. Finding all four adds 300, plus 100 for every slip you did not use and up to 360 for speed. Hand-written puzzles (64 of them, no word fits two groups) come in a fixed rotation by day, so the daily puzzle never repeats until the whole bank has been used. Practice runs pick a puzzle from the seed. Every pick and submit is recorded and replayed by the server.
