This is the best summary I could come up with:


When you visit the Puzzmo homepage, you’re greeted with a collection of games, along with things like a list of leaderboards and the day’s news.

Wordle’s success showed just how big the appetite is for modernized word and puzzle games and led to a deluge of investment in the space.

Eventually, Gage met his Puzzmo co-founder, Orta Therox, an engineer with the ability to actually build the site he had envisioned.

According to Gage, the main goal behind Puzzmo’s take on the crossword was to make an experience where players never felt like they had to resort to Google to solve a puzzle.

In practice, for me at least, this setup helped take a lot of the stress out of the crossword, and I surprisingly never found myself clicking over to another tab to search for the solution.

“Certainly, there are a number of solitaire games that we have planned for the site, and Knotwords and Good Sudoku are coming.” The team is also building a mobile app in addition to the existing website.
