Circuits Royale, released to celebrate the launch of Circuits on Puzzmo, is a game you can drop into, instantly understand, and play with a ton of people at once. Notes on LLMs LLMs unlocked the gameplay by serving as word judge. /posts/2025/02/03/january-games-changelog/ Mon, 03 Feb 2025 08:00:00 -0700 /posts/2025/02/03/january-games-changelog/ Happy new year! This changelog covers all changes since November 2024’s changelog. Here’s what’s new: Cross|word Added text formatting support to clues (italics, bold, links, and more). Adjusted the column layout on narrow desktop and tablet screens so clue lists are always wide enough to read. Adjusted the initial scale of the grid on mobile so the entire grid is always in view. Increase contrast on circle square highlights. Improved the feel of zoom and pan gestures. /posts/2024/12/27/november-games-changelog/ Wed, 27 Nov 2024 08:00:00 -0700 /posts/2024/12/27/november-games-changelog/ Here’s what’s new in games since the last changelog.

We concluded that there are two things we should probably do to keep site speed up, and keep costs down. We are removing the stats displays on games completed before April 1st, 2024. The version of Puzzmo which launched, and the Puzzmo we all use today may visually look very similar, but under-the-hood things are quite different. /posts/2024/08/07/august-games-changelog/ Wed, 07 Aug 2024 10:23:52 +0100 /posts/2024/08/07/august-games-changelog/ Hi, Saman here! This is the first of what I hope will be many monthly changelog posts. Note that our team relies on a continuous release process, so while these changelogs will only come once the month, the changes themselves will roll out as they’re completed. The changelogs are therefore always a summary of changes that are already live. Here’s what changed in our games over the last month. Crossword Removed the hint time penalty, and added a cooldown period for hints (Read Hints v2: Moving from a time penalty to a cooldown period for more details).
