Hi, you all,
Awesome to find people posting puzzles for each other. I had an idea, and want to run it by you all, and see what you think -
What if, instead of having one puzzlemeister, what if we do it this way:
Cryptoquipper A posts a cryptogram. Gives clues, if needed. Cryptoquipper B guesses it correctly. It's then Cryptoquipper B's turn to post a cryptogram. Cryptoquipper C guesses, and gets to post the next cryptogram. Etc. If the winner does not post a new cryptogram within a certain amount of time (15 minutes, maybe?), then it's up for grabs and anyone can post the next one. It's fine to guess the cryptogram, and then say something like, "Someone else can post the next one."
I like that it takes off the burden of responsibility to keep up with posting puzzles, and I like that we all can take a turn posting - if you're online and playing, you might get to win and post the next one.
What do you all think?
