Why puzzles

A daily habit that leads back to your articles

Daily puzzles have become one of the strongest habit-formers in digital news. PublisherPuzzles gives you that habit without a games team.

Daily return visits

A new puzzle every day gives readers a reason to come back. Streaks keep them coming.

Traffic to your articles

Every solved puzzle reveals the article the word came from, with a direct link back to your story.

Logged-in readers

Leaderboards and streaks give readers a reason to create an account. Opt-ins for newsletters and marketing are built in.

Everything included

Your portal, your rules

  • Three game types: Word of the Day, HeadlineHunt and ArticleAnagram
  • Editor approval: AI suggests, your newsroom decides. Or switch on auto-publish.
  • Topic filters: block sensitive subjects and keywords so they never become a puzzle
  • Your branding: accent colour, background, text colour, logo and font
  • Scheduling: plan puzzles days ahead and get a warning when the queue runs low
  • Statistics: players, solve rates and time spent, per day
  • Privacy first: anonymous play, GDPR tools and data purging built in

FAQ

Questions from publishers

Do we need an RSS feed?

No, but it helps. With an RSS or JSON feed the puzzles are made from your own articles and link back to them. Without a feed you can still run general daily word puzzles in your own branding.

Does AI publish puzzles without us checking?

Only if you want it to. By default every AI-generated puzzle waits in your portal for an editor to approve it. You can block topics and keywords, edit words and clues, or write puzzles yourself.

Which languages are supported?

Dutch, English, French and German.

How do we put the puzzle on our site?

Paste one script tag, or a plain iframe if your CMS strips scripts. The embed resizes itself, follows your brand colours, logo and font, and works on mobile.

Who owns the player data?

Players on your embed are your readers. Anonymous play is the default, and the portal includes tools to purge anonymous sessions. Read how we use AI and our privacy policy.
