It's been a long few years of not being able to talk about what we're working on, so it's really strange to be able to say: "This is it."

From award-winning game designer @helvetica and engineer @orta, along with @hearst_np (cc: @hearst), Puzzmo is a fresh spin on a cultural mainstay: the newspaper games page.

For the folks still on twitter (why tho?)
Two important @CocoaPods updates:
- @segiddins has shipped an update to trunk to not allow new pods to run scripts on your computer
- I've updated the blog/site with a new header that counts down to the specs repo going read-only

If you're a daily puzzle addict like me, get yourself the new Puzzmo app by @helvetica featuring playful puzzles by him and other indie game designers. It's endless fun.

New Yorkers @puzzmotoday is hosting the second run of the Crossword Con in just over two weeks (April 15th) Last year it was earth-shaking, literally.
The schedule is a mix of folks talking about Crosswords as an art. You should come!

Doing a proper puzzlebook has been a dream of Puzzmo since day 1 and I'm so excited it's happening. The crosswords @xandraladee curated are so good, the new puzzles @games_by_jack has been generating are pretty wild. I think you're gonna love it
Announcing: our first crossword book! 30 of our favorite crosswords from 2024, 10 book-exclusive midi crosswords, and 10+ pages of paper remixes of Flipart and Really Bad Chess.
