Open Create a Puzzle

Share a Challenge, compare the results

A Challenge link opens its invitation directly in the game. Players sign in to participate, and completed results appear on that Challenge’s leaderboard. Moves, blanks left, and time contribute to the score.

Previewing lets you see the board and make sure it looks good before you share it out.

Publishing and Drawing Blanks+

Publishing a Challenge costs 500 gems. Drawing Blanks+ members get five free publications each day. The editor shows your remaining free publications or the gem cost before you publish.

Published titles and answers cannot be edited. You can deactivate a Challenge, but doing so does not refund gems or included publications.

Keep it fun for everyone

Only share words you have the right to use. Avoid private information, harassment, or offensive content. Invitation links can be forwarded, so don’t treat them as confidential. Players can use Report Puzzle on a Challenge or contact us about inappropriate content.
