Hey everyone, I built a new daily puzzles site with all original formats that I'm releasing today called The Daily Baffle. This is the successor project to my simple puzzle Triword from last year. There's a mix of different puzzles, done in the style of a classic newspaper games page. I think you'll especially like the Pathword, but all of my friends have different favorites. Come find yours!

Hey HN, About twenty years ago, while I was in college, I first stumbled upon James Propp's Self-Referential Aptitude Test [1] and absolutely loved it. Ever since then, I've had this idea of turning that concept into a daily game, and I've finally built it: https://www.logiquiz.com/ The game interface checks each question against the answers you've given, so it doesn't spoil anything by giving away the answers. There are five different tests each day, from very easy to very hard. I'd love to hear what you think! [1]: https://faculty.uml.edu/jpropp/srat-Q.txt
