I remember buying a magazine full of crosswords and similar puzzles when I was in the mood.

And when there were sites with unlimited Wordle, I played a few in a row.

On the internet, unlike with newspapers, you're not limited to how many levels/games you can make per day. Making it once per day doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It's condescending to the users and feels like a power trip.





> It's condescending to the users and feels like a power trip.

condescending (adjective): having or showing an attitude of patronizing superiority.

I don't really see how a once-a-day puzzle is condescending, unless it's a "You can't be trusted to regulate yourself so I'll do it for you" type thing. Adding a dictionary definition like above, however, probably is condescending :)

But I like the one-a-day format because, as other comments have said, you can spend an entire day with just one puzzle feeling important (relative to things that are important).


You can freely make levels and browse other people's levels. The complaining about power trips seems as uncharitable a perspective as you could possibly conceive of, not to mention a bit theatric.

so don’t? others have said they like it, you don’t, move on
