"Play is a deep breath in and a slow release out. It is what gives us the space to recognize ourselves inside the tumult of the machine — and the clarity to recognize everyone else too.
Play is why we’re here."
It has been really exciting to finally share Puzzmo with the world! There's so much careful design inside it that I felt would be difficult to understand at the outset, so as part of this sharing process, I wrote a manifesto —
"When I made SpellTower I hated word games. I wanted to understand why my friends loved them.
SpellTower set me off on a career-spanning journey of learning to love many things I didn’t understand, and building games to help players around the world do the same."

"Typeshift is a deep dive into language.
I wanted to create a word game that had no rules besides “spell words”, but still had strategy to uncover. Learning to excel at Typeshift means diving deeply into the complex and infinite space letter relationships."

Looking forwards to coming over to NYC in April for the Crossword Con! Genuinely excited to be able to say "Thanks" to the folks whose puzzles I've loved over the last 2 years of daily xwords for me.
We’ll also talk about Verulean’s (unbelievable😲) 27-tile word ETHYLENEDIAMINETETRAACETATE.
(This molecule, usually abbreviated to EDTA, facilitates the creation of certain chemical bonds and can be used to treat lead poisoning.)
